ELLIOTT MURPHY
with ERNIE BROOKS, ANDY PALEY, JERRY HARRISON, BILLY JOEL
DOUG YULE, RALPH SCHUCKETT, STEVE KATZ, MICHAEL BRECKER, etc.
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."

Elliott Murphy returned to recording in New York City for his third album, emphasizing the point
by posing for the cover in the middle of 42nd Street. Enlisting producer Steve Katz,
who had handled the last three Lou Reed albums, Murphy fronted a studio band including
former Velvet Underground singer/guitarist Doug Yule and former Modern Lovers Ernie Brooks (bass)
and Jerry Harrison (keyboards), who was soon to join Talking Heads.
They gave Murphy a more contemporary and diverse rock sound, further distinguished
from the first two albums by Murphy's development into a more expressive singer...(AllMusic)
