Synopsis

Product Description
Notes From The Underground is Elliott Murphy's much awaited follow-up to his highly praised Coming Home Again (Four Stars **** Rolling Stone & Crossroads) and features 11 new tracks recorded with Elliott's band The Normandy All Stars featuring the incredible Olivier Durand on guitar. Fellow New Yorker Kenny Margolis (ex-Mink Deville & Cracker) played the keyboards and Elliott's son Gaspard added lead guitar on one track. Songs such as the high energy rockers And General Robert E. Lee and Lost And Lonely are already crowd favorites and the ballad Ophelia is a classic in the mold of Murphy's hit Anastasia. Notes From The Underground is the most electric rocking album Elliott has recorded in years and in many ways a return to the style of his first album Aquashow which UNCUT magazine in the UK described as an Album Classic just last year. Notes From The Underground will surely please long-time Elliott fans as well as new listeners looking for classic rock.

"Elliott Murphy has been on the scene since 1973. He is mostly unknown in the US, having moved from the east coast to Paris in 1989. He has a decent following in Europe and does many concerts there.



It is unusual for an artist to improve in the later years of his career, but that is exactly what Elliott Murphy has done. His output since 1998's Beauregard has been outstanding. Head and shoulders above much of what else is out there. Intelligent lyrics (he was once touted as the "new Dylan"), fine musicianship and a great showman. Lead guitarist Olivier Durand is a large part of the sound.



Do yourself a favor and check out Elliott Murphy. Notes from the Underground would be a good place to start. "Lost and Lonely" is very radio-friendly, but since it is actually GOOD, you likely won't hear it on commercial radio. You will be wanting more after listening to this album, I guarantee it!"
