A poetic lyricism is wedded to hard-edged arrangements by Long Island-born, Paris-based singer-songwriter Elliott Murphy. Although none of his songs have reached the Top 40, Murphy's influence is reflected through the music of Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed, the Velvet Underground and the Talking Heads. Guests on Murphy's albums have included Shawn Colvin, Phil Collins, Billy Joel, Sonny Landreth, Bruce Springsteen and members of the Violent Femmes the New York Dolls . Although their 1975 debut album, Aquashow, was critically acclaimed, it failed to break through commercially. Murphy's subsequent 1970s recordings Lost Generation, Night Lights and Just a Story From America sold poorly. In 1980, Murphy launched his own record label, Courtesan, with a six-song EP, Affairs. The following year, he released a folk-rock album, Murph the Surf. Murphy's album Party Girls/Broken Poets, released in 1984, was nominated for a New York Music Award as Album of the Year. Murphy has consistently worked with innovative producers. Milwaukee, released in 1986, was produced by Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads, while Change Will Come, released in 1987, was produced by James Ball of | |
