Elliott Murphy - Elliott Murphy (2010)

Elliott Murphys new album, although musically rich and lyrically intense has a very simple title - Elliott Murphy - and begins a new cycle in the Murphy career and legend as it was produced by Elliott's 20 year-old son Gaspard Murphy. Once again featuring virtuoso guitarist Olivier Durand and The Normandy All Stars, the album was recorded in Le Havre, New York City, and Paris. From the opening track you immediately begin another musical journey through Murphyland, a term that devout Elliott Murphy fans use to describe his music. Gaspard Murphy has brought an undeniable contemporary sound and presence to his father's album and Olivier Durand's guitar work continues to amaze. Combine that with eleven of the strongest songs Elliott has written in a decade and Elliott Murphy joins his classic works Aquashow and Just A Story From America.
