GURF MORLIX

Tempting as it may be, don't just judge Gurf Morlix by the company he
keeps, even if it does provide a fine starting point: eminent musical
artists like Lucinda Williams, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Warren Zevon, Ian
McLagan, Patty Griffin, Robert Earl Keen, Michael Penn, Buddy Miller,
Mary Gauthier, Tom Russell, Jim Lauderdale and Slaid Cleaves, to name
but a few. Instead, listen to Last Exit to Happyland, his fifth solo
album, and understand why his blue-ribbon associations as a producer,
guitarist and multi-instrumentalist have led Morlix to a similar level
of excellence as a singer, songwriter and artist in his own right.

As critic Henry Cabot Beck notes on Amazon.com, "If anybody is still
looking for a candidate to replace Robbie Robertson in The Band, look
no further. Morlix can write, sing, produce, and play nearly every
instrument (mostly stringed) and has a bottomless (albeit muddy) range
of American musical idioms from which to draw." Through more than four
decades of professional music endeavors, Morlix has distinguished
himself with his innate musicality, exquisite taste, keen creative
instincts, and well-honed ear for not only songwriting but also the
elements that bring songs to their fullest fruition.
