I bought this album back in 1994 while in Arizona where 3M's music is played often on the radio, unlike here in Michigan. I love Michael's music and think that this album is a good choice for a "first" Murphy album to buy. The opening song "Never Givin' Up On Love" is the best song on the album and one of the better songs of his career. But the good stuff doesn't end there as every song is a winner. A good take on Route 66 shows Michael can take and remake a classic and make it his own. Go out and buy this great CD and you will be hooked on Michael Martin Murphey for life!
