Michael Murphey-Geronimo’s Cadillac

Original

I heard “Geronimo’s Cadillac” on AM radio where it was a Top 40 hit. A great song. I bought this 1972 album shortly after that. This is the first record from this Country/Folk singer. Other than the title track and “Crack Up In Las Cruces” I didn’t really like any of the other songs so I rarely listened to it back then.Listening to it now it’s not too bad with a couple of the songs having a Gospell sound to them.In his liner notes Murphey says he was writing songs for Screen Gems in the 60’s and one of the songs “What Am I Doing Hanging Around?” was recorded by The Monkees and is also on this record. “Calico Silver” with its piano backing reminded me of “Wildfire” his big hit from 1975.
