Renowned Texas folk and roots artist James McMurtry returns with The Black Dog And The Wandering Boy, his fourteenth studio album and his first release since 2021's The Horse And The Hounds. Funny and poignant in equal measure, the record reaffirms McMurtry's place as one of American roots music's most enduring and respected voices, with a sound that has inspired a new generation of artists including Sarah Jarosz and Jason Isbell.
The album features a stellar cast of collaborators, including Texan singer-songwriter Sarah Jarosz, whose contributions help elevate some of the record's most emotionally resonant moments. The title track stands out as a clear highlight, showcasing McMurtry's sharp songwriting alongside captivating guitar work, while the album as a whole balances wry wit with genuine heart across its full runtime.
