The complete discography of the legendary American songwriter J. F. Murphy from 1970 to 1975





These albums were requested by the prognotfrog group and I have them from there and thanks to their work. 

I uploaded them for those who might still need them because in my opinion they are classics in American songwriting.

All of them are here so we can have a completion on this brilliant artist.



J.F. Murphy's 1970 ST album








J.F. Murphy and Free Flowing Salt - Almost Home from 1973









Murphy's Law - Urban Renewal








 Finally, the J. F. Murphy and Salt albums, ST from 1972 and Last Illusion from 1973, thanks to isabelbc from prognotfrog:





"And so the wheel of life will turn
and you will be all alone,
with just a memory of me.
And though I die a natural death
many years from now
let them write upon my stone
he was murdered by a friend
when his last illusion rolled around.

Some say that love
will burn you more than fire
'cause love burns deep inside your head.
But when a friend goes bad--
well that's the last illusion.
Friendship is the only beast
that's never been known to bite until it's dead"

  4. Murphy's earlier project, 'STRANGE NIGHT VOYAGE' by the Merchants of Dream, was released in May 1968 on A&M records {SP 4149). It was a concept album, loosely based on Peter Pan. In 2011 this record was reissued on CD.

  5. John Reilly, the drummer on The Last Illusion and Urban Renewal albums, talks a lot about his time in the band in this interview: http://www.musicandartinterviews.com/2019/04/john-oreilly.html

  6. Gratitude... for your fine archive.
    May the JF Murphy - Almost Home, 1973 title be restored?
    Bless...
