ELLIOTT MURPHY
with JIM GORDON, BOBBY KIMBALL, SONNY LANDRETH, JON SMITH
NED DOHENY, JACKIE CLARK, RICHARD TEE, GORDON EDWARDS, WAYNE De VILLIER
New York singer/songwriter whose 1973 debut, AQUASHOW, is a lost classic.
A poetic lyricism is wedded to hard-edged arrangements by Long Island-born, Paris-based singer/songwriter Elliott Murphy.
Although none of his songs have reached the Top 40, Murphy's influence is reflected through the music
of Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed, the Velvet Underground, and Talking Heads.
Guests on Murphy's albums have included Shawn Colvin, Phil Collins, Billy Joel, Sonny Landreth,
Bruce Springsteen, and members of the Violent Femmes, the Smithereens, Talking Heads, and the Velvet Underground.
During Springsteen's 1996 European tour, Murphy was even invited on the stage in Paris
to sing an acoustic duet version of his tune "Rock Ballad."

SLEEVE VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)
After his debut album, Aquashow, proved a critical success and a commercial failure,
Elliott Murphy switched from Polydor to RCA for Lost Generation, on which Doors producer
Paul A. Rothchild and a group of L.A. session musicians gave him a better sound,
while his songs seemed like outtakes from the first record. Again, Murphy was endlessly
referential, name-checking everyone from Andy Warhol to Ezra Pound, mixing
a contemporary New York City milieu with literary, cinematic, musical, and historical allusions
in his sometimes whiney sawdust tenor while the band made like Blonde on Blonde.
It was the same set of elements that had made Aquashow such a delight, but
they weren't blended quite as well this time. Nevertheless, Murphy remained
an intriguing songwriter with a nervy cultural sense,
and his future seemed promising...(AllMusic)
