James McMurtry brings 'The Horses and the Hounds' to the Narrows Center for the Arts

FALL RIVER — James McMurtry will be including songs from his first full-length album in seven years when he performs at the Narrows Center for the Arts, 16 Anawan St., on Friday, March 24.

Doors open at 7, and the show begins at 8 p.m.

He'll be performing selections from “The Horses and the Hounds” as well as some of his old favorites.

“There’s a definite Los Angeles vibe to this record. The ghost of Warren Zevon seems to be stomping around among the guitar tracks,” McMurtry said in a press release. "Don’t know how he got there. He never signed on for work for hire."

McMurtry recorded "The Horses and the Hounds" with Ross Hogarth, legendary producer (Van Halen, John Fogerty) and old friend (Hogarth recorded McMurtry’s first two albums and mixed his first self-produced effort), their first meeting being thirty years ago when Hogarth was a recording engineer in the employ of John Mellencamp.

Tickets are $38 in advance and $40 the day of the show.
