❝ Evocative and fascinating: these are the first two adjectives that come to mind when thinking of "Geronimo's Cadillac" from 1972, the debut work of Texan cowboy songwriter Michael Martin Murphey, an album already mature and almost perfect both in the taste of melodies and in the maturity expressed in the lyrics, further ennobled by half a dozen (if not more) of great songs that make "Geronimo's Cadillac" a masterpiece for discerning listeners.
❝ In a context like that of country music, which has its most burdensome limit in often being repetitive and stereotypical, an album like this is pure magic;
❝ This album is perhaps the most glaring definition of a subgenre known as Progressive country, a term coined to define a more refined style of country rich in influences, which had a core of artists based mainly in Austin, to which Murphey himself belongs, in contrast to the more popular and mainstream scene of Nashville.
❝ an outstanding collection of classics that transcend any division of genre and style, thanks also to the class of this incredibly talented songwriter who, after almost forty years in the business, has not yet stopped making great music.
❝ Perhaps the only thing this album lacks is a bit of rock grit, but even as it is, "Americana" remains an excellent example of true, authentic, and genuine pop music, a further manifesto of its creator's eclecticism and genius, which deserves to be much better known.
