Michael Martin Murphey & the Rio Grande Band - "Wildfire"

Settling down for a bit, and cycling back to Country Music, I bring you Michael Martin Murphy & The Rio Grande Band with "Wildfire"...

BACKGROUND:
'Michael Martin Murphey and Larry Cansler co-wrote "Wildfire" in 1968, shortly after Murphey emerged as a solo artist. Earlier in the decade he had been part of a duo known as the Lewis & Clark Expedition in 1968 with singer-songwriter Boomer Castleman. They appeared and performed in an episode of the TV sitcom I Dream of Jeannie.

When Murphey rerecorded "Wildfire" for a new album in 1997, he was quoted by Billboard as saying that what many consider his signature song "broke my career wide open and, on some level, still keeps it fresh. Because that song appeals to kids, and always has, it's kept my career fresh." - Wikipedia

ENJOY!
