Gurf Morlix


I recently heard some of his songs and he reminded me of Leonard Cohen only better, more compelling. At first thought it sounded like raw in the gutter type music, but the songs just draw you in.

Maybe Leonard Cohen wasn,t the best comparison, Tom Waits is a better one. I really liked Lucinda's Car Wheels on a gravel road, and I thought that Steve Earl was a big influence on her. He sounds original, I can hear his mother asking him what he did with the money she gave him for singing lessons though. It sounds like he's been around for a while from what you guys are saying and I'll have to check his those albums that was mentioned.

Oops, Lucinda's drummer was Donald Lindley, not David (Dave's a mighty fine stringed instrument player). Donald died quite a while back, David's still with us.

@stuartk I checked out that YT video you mentioned and was intrigued by another live one of Lucinda Williams and Willie Nelson doing "Overtime" and was quite moved by it. Thanks!.

Saw Gurf with Lucinda at Maxwells in Hoboken around the time Passionate Kisses was released. Just the two of them with guitars and about 15 of us in the audience standing and swaying about 10 feet away. I’ll never forget that show!

He ain't no Tom Waits either.
