VS: James McMurtry on meeting John Mellencamp / These Things I've Come to Know (S2:E23)

[@chrisholton6309]

Brilliant songwriter and killer player!! Absolutely love his style story telling!!

[@jdavidsavage]

The insight James shares here with his writing process is wonderful to listen to. From "who said that" to invisioning the character, if he can get the character maybe he can get the story... as songwriter myself, it's gems like this that genuinely inspire me.

[@cheaneysaddles]

James McMurtry is really a great guitar player and songwriter.

That truth I've come to know

[@brianwaite6310]

He's my window into America, love his music and the characters he creates

[@grandudetonesnob7107]

Every song with James makes me feel like we know the same people! Surely one of the best of his kind!

[@bulltastik]

I don't see the comparison but they're both great.

One of my all time favorite lyricist - thanks for having him on!

NIce to see James just picking a little there at the end

[@garypuma3612]

Tells stories like his dad in a different way.
