 | | Dan Murphy Country BoyPrice: $19.95 As a youngster, Dan had cut his teeth on country, singing in the family band. He grew up on a large cattle station in outback NSW and by the time he’d reached high school, his consuming passion was country music.
Then, just like the young man who left the farm after an argument with his father in Where There’s A Road, Dan left his Cobar home under spookily similar circumstances. He ended up travelling around America, chasing good country music, driving trucks, breaking horses and becoming more determined than ever to achieve his goal.
Returning to Australia, Dan’s ambition was further fuelled through success in competitions at the Gympie Muster, Mud Bulls and Music Festival and the Tamworth Country Music Festival. The road he’d travelled led Dan straight to the doors of Jeff McCormack’s Music Cellar Studio where he laid down the tracks for his debut album, Country Boy. Outlaw, Mighty Lonesome, Cadillac Cowboy, Huckleberry, Love Match, I'm Just A Country Boy, Faster Horses, Trip Around The Wall, A Showman's Life, Where There's A Road, Ten With A Two, Call Me Crazy.
