JOHN MURRY & MICHAEL TIMMINS
A LITTLE BIT OF GRACE AND DECAY
Release Date : 20 September 2024 (TENOR VOSSA)
CD / TV022CD
The Soundtrack to accompany the Award winning Documentary "The Graceless Age: The Ballad Of John Murry". Written and performed by John Murry and Mike Timmins (Cowboy Junkies). This haunting film is the story of American singer songwriter John Murry, who was on the cusp of greatness after the release of his highly acclaimed album The Graceless Age (2013), when his world fell apart. Addicted to heroin and creatively exhausted, he washed up on the shores of Ireland, a broken man. Now, he retraces his steps back to Mississippi into the dark heart of American life and faces his demons- a neglected childhood, traumatic assault, and resulting years of opioid addiction.

Four years on from Un Deux Trois, Juniore return through the looking glass... Juniore's third album was made in the world that came after the world that was before.
