Many of the songs that appear on KING MURPHY's debut, "It's Good To Be Da King!", have origins that go back over thirty years. This eclectic mix touches upon rock, country, soft rock, punk rock, singer songwriter and even hip hop. The lyrical content of the album was pulled from news headlines, poems, thoughts and journal entries found in decades old notebooks. The songs have a storytelling style reminiscent of Ronnie Van Zant, Lou Reed and Elvis Costello, while the musical landscape owes much to the likes of The Clash, The Replacements and Johnny Cash. KING MURPHY is currently working on the follow up to "It's Good To Be Da King". KING MURPHY's new CD "When It Reigns ... It Paws" is scheduled for a spring 2014 release.
