Live Version of
"We Can't Make It Here" Available for Download
Just before the 2004 Presidential Election, James McMurtry gave away a free download of his state of the union anthem, "We Can't Make It Here." The song struck a chord with the public and went on to win Song of the Year at the Americana Music Honors and Awards. Author Stephen King described it as the "best American protest song since 'Masters of War'" in his Entertainment Weekly column. On the brink of the 2008 election, McMurtry is giving away a previously unreleased live version of "We Can't Make It Here" from his 2008 concert at Southpaw in Brooklyn, NY.
