Elliott Murphy Interviewed on WMBR's Lost & Found Program

Hosted by:

Originally aired:

Host Bob Dubrow interviewed singer/songwriter/author Elliott Murphy by phone on December 1st. The recorded conversation will be aired at around 12:30 pm, along with plenty of the music Murphy has released since his Polydor Record debut in 1973 (raved about in the same Rolling Stone record review as Bruce Springsteen's second album). His latest, Notes From the Underground, may be his best yet (in yer host's humble opinion). Murphy plays Johnny D's in Somerville on December 10th. Born to a show business family in New York, Elliott began his career by winning the NY State Battle of the Bands, followed by a troubadour-like odyssey to Europe which included a bit part in Federico Fellini's film Roma. Back in the US, he quickly secured a recording contract. Following the critical success of Aquashow came, in quick succession, Lost Generation (Produced by Doors producer Paul Rothschild), Night Lights (featuring Billy Joel), Just A Story From America (featuring Phil Collins and Mick Taylor) and many other albums. In 2006 UK magazine Uncut featured a full page article on Aquashow as an "album classic." Highlights from recent works include a live album with guitarist Chris Spedding (Live Hot Point), a duo album with Iain Matthews (La Terre Commune), and a duet with Bruce Springsteen (Selling The Gold), who often invites Elliott on stage with him during his European tours. Murphy is also a published author of various collections of short stories and two novels.

Location: 88.1 FM
