Customer Reviews:

A classic album - it still is........2007-03-15

Michael Martin Murphey has always done pretty good stuff, and this album was one of my favorites, so I was glad when it finally became available on CD. And, after all, "Wildfire" is a classic in its genre, in spite of the much-joked-about line where the horse (and subsequently the girl) dies because of a "killing frost" (which most certainly CAN kill... a tomato plant)! It's still a good album.

Another must-have MMM album.......2002-05-26

It seems like all of MMM's albums are classics, but this one has the breakout hits 'Wildfire' and 'Carolina in the Pines'. Hidden later on is the song 'Without My Lady There', which has a California sound that I think Jimmy Buffett imitates so poorly. The songs are well-written and the music is awesome...this is an album for the MMM collection no matter what!

My first experience.......2001-10-18

This album was my first experience listening to Michael Murphy (no "Martin" back then!). I fell in love with him and every single song on the album (no CD's back then, either!). Yes, "Wildfire" is wonderful and I played it at my wedding, but I love "Carolina In The Pines" and even "Desert Rat" has it's own special meaning. "Blue Sky Riding Song", "Medicine Man", "Night Thunder", "Wild Bird", "Secret Mountain Hideout" and let's not forget "Without My Lady There". I think all of the songs are great! Mr. Murphy was in concert here a few weeks ago and it was my first opportunity to see him perform live, it's nice to have someone like him perform in the smaller towns in the country. Thanks, Michael, we truly appreciate it. Michael "Martin" Murphy has always been a great singer/songwriter, please, keep up the good work for another thirty years or so!

She ran callin' "Wiiilllllllddddddfffiiiiiirrrrrree! ".......2000-08-24

The only *fantastic* song on this CD is Wildfire, (as it is also my favorite) but his other songs are great too.

A Long Time Ago; On A Trip Far Far Away...................2000-08-20

............I remember it was my first trip to the West. I lived in Vermont all my life and had always only read about or dreamed about the West. I was a lover of music with a wandering soul. I had recently purchased this album and transfered it to cassette to play in my car. Since I had several other "homemade" cassettes to play, I didn't slide this one into the player until I was somewhere beyond the Mississippi. After a complete listening, I began to realize that, when Michael Murphy wrote these songs, that he had to be thinking about the places that I was now seeing for my first time. Every song on this album conjures up an image for me of someplace I found on that trip, and on every other trip that I later took out West.

For anyone who has not toured "The West", when you do, have this album in your cassette or CD player. Then, somewhere down the road of your life, you'll hear one of these songs somewhere, and trust me here, you will feel the NEED to return to the West. It happened 2 more times for me, the last one being 1988. I'm due!!
