Michael Mu 17)hey says he doesn’t
consider himself a country singer or
a part of the progressive country
music.
Murphey, who is best known for
his smooth, nature-oriented songs
like "Wildfire” and “Carolina in the
Pines”, performed at Texas A&M
last Tuesday night.
“I think I’m more of a storyteller,”
he said in an interview after his

show. “I fit more into the wandering
minstrel category. I like a good
story. I like a good tale. I’m more
oriented to that.”
Murphey said the prevalence of
the Indians and the outdoors in his
music might be the cause of his as
sociation with country music, but he
said the image is wrong.
“Music in the last few years has
become very much like politics. It
has little parties and camps, ’ Mur
phey said. “That is really sad to me.
Music is one of the last forms of real
magic that we have. Who can explain
why music works the way it does? It’s
a trick. It’s slight of hand. ”
Murphey likened himself to an
Indian medicine man. “That’s the
way I see myself; not as a leader, or
somebody to lead people along like
sheep, but as a medicine man in the
sense of trying to bring good
medicine to people, he said.
He also tries to project in his songs
the feelings of the people he meets.
“That’s what a performer ulti
mately is. He’s plugged into the cir
cuits of the world, and energy’s com
ing through him, and something’s
coming out: what is coming out is
either negative or positive or what
ever he’s collected or felt. That’s
what an artist is all about.”
His interest in the Inidans has
been primarily artistic, philosophi
cal and spiritual instead of an
thropological, historical or sociologi
cal, he said.
It’s the Indian’s relationship to
the planet and to the life of the tribe
and the way he expresses himself
that interests me most, Murphey
said.
T think that what has been missed
a lot about the Indian people is the
incredibly powerful message that
their culture has to teach us, which is
primarily reverence for life and re
spect for nature.’
“What I’ve tried to do in my
career, especially in the last few
years, is to do what politicians
do....for things that can’t speak.”
Murphey said that it might he true
that man’s aggressiveness elevated
him to superiority in the animal
kingdom, but he said that things can
