Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of "Wildfire"
Michael Martin Murphey’s musical career has spanned over five decades, traversing genres like Pop, Country, Western, and Bluegrass. Known for chart-topping hits like "Wildfire," "Carolina In The Pines," and "Geronimo’s Cadillac," Murphey has consistently reinvented himself while staying true to his Texan roots. His journey includes pioneering movements like the "Cosmic Cowboy" scene of the 1970s, which played a key role in shaping the "Outlaw Country" genre.
In addition to his success on the charts, Murphey has left a lasting legacy in the realm of cowboy music.
