American singer-songwriter active since the early 1970s, debut album Aquashow (1973). Known for literate lyrics and live performances that draw comparisons to Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.

Debut album 'Aquashow' (1973) is frequently cited; the DeBaser reviews discuss the live album 'April' (live, 1999) and a 2009 Italian concert. Reviews note longstanding output (about thirty albums referenced) and regular live activity with guitarist Olivier Durand.

DeBaser hosts a small set of enthusiastic reviews celebrating Elliott Murphy's live shows and the live album April. Reviewers highlight literate songwriting, ballads and strong guitar work by Olivier Durand. Overall the coverage is affectionate and strongly positive.

For:Fans of literate singer-songwriters, listeners who like Dylan/Springsteen-tinged rock, and concert-goers interested in intimate live performances.

 "...But that man had set himself there with a hammer and chisel and had carved a stone trough that could last ten thousand years. In my opinion, that trough is still there...and then I think of that guy sitting there with the hammer and chisel building it, and the only thing I can think of is that he had some sort of promise in his heart. I certainly have no intention of setting out to carve a stone trough, but I would like to be able to make that kind of promise."("No Country for Old Men", Cormac McCarthy)

 With "April", the name of this plastic disc, we got acquainted, and it wasn't difficult; just a couple of hours to break the ice, and from the first evening, we made passionate love by turning the volume up to a quarter of the dial.
