Gurf Morlix Last Exit to Happyland

November 30th 2008 in Americana, alt.country

Austin Texas based roots musician, Gurf Morlix, is finishing up his new release Last Exit To Happyland. A noted producer of the Americana elite (Lucinda Williams, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Slaid Cleaves, Mary Gauthier, and Robert Earl Keen, Tom Russell, Blaze Foley, Ian McLagan, and the Hot Club of Cowtown),  delivers some great new songs. Backed by the mighty Rick Richards on drums, and with vocal support from Patty Griffin, Ruthie Foster and Barkara K, he explores the territory where folk and blues and country intersect, a place he likes to call “The Muddy”. Last Exit To Happyland will be released on Rootball Records on February 17th, and marks his evolution from sideman (Lucinda Williams’ band leader for 11 years) and producer to world class singer-songwriter in the spotlight.

Radio again shows it’s short-sightedness and it’s allegiance to money over music or fans. Los Angeles’ terrestrial radio station Indie 103.1 has unceremoniously canceled the roots/Americana music focused “Watusi Rodeo” show. The show was hosted for nearly three years, their anniversary broadcast would have aired Sunday, Dec. 7, by Chris Morris. “Watusi Rodeo” was just one of a number of specialty show casualties at Indie 103.1  to make way for a more commercially viable format.
