Murray’s Latest CD Offering

Recovered – The Kensington Sessions

This new recording project began as a response to losing ownership of his historic master recordings when the catalogue was sold without consultation. Re recording these songs offered McLauchlan the opportunity to reclaim his work, but the process quickly became more meaningful. Revisiting these songs in the studio revealed a deeper emotional resonance and a maturity that comes from decades of lived experience. The original recordings, made largely in the 1970s, reflected the technology and atmosphere of the time. This new project allows McLauchlan to reinterpret the material with clarity, intention, and a renewed sense of joy. The result is a collection he describes as both a reclamation and a celebration.

*ABOUT MURRAY

Who Murray is and what he does

Murray McLauchlan

SINGER SONGWRITER
Forty odd years after his first foray into music, Murray has twenty albums to his credit on both True North Records and Capitol Records. His songs have been covered by many other artists as well as being featured in high school text books. He has played, both solo, and with bands in every major hall in Canada, from Massey Hall in Toronto, to the Orpheum in Vancouver and all the Jubilees in between as well as extensively in the U.S.

Murray’s new 2021 release “Hourglass” on True North Records is the result of a hard period of introspection during the pandemic where he reflected on racism, economic inequality, the future of the planet and the plight of refugees among other topics. That said, it never hits you over the head. The songs treat the listener gently even though the lyrics might cut hard. It is a labour of love with the able assistance of musicians Victor Bateman (bass), Al Cross (drums and percussion), Burke Carroll (steel) and Vezi Tayyeb on keys. As Murray says “While the world gets noisier, I just keep getting quieter.”

He is happily married to Denise Donlon and they have a son so Murray continues with what he thinks is his most important job: being a dad.
