Acclaimed singer/songwriter James McMurty returns with "Just Us Kids", his ninth album and follow up to 2005's Americana Album of the Year winner, "Childish Things". James has long been known as a fine, fiery songwriter and in recent years has received nationwide attention for his role as a musical activist.

On Just Us Kids, James McMurty follows up his critically acclaimed Childish Things with a dozen new, sharply drawn illuminations as he continues to hone and expand his considerable gifts. And the self-produced opus (James’ fourth venture pulling strings on both sides of the glass) unquestionably represents his most ambitious, accomplished and ass-kicking presentation to date.

Just Us Kids will be the first release for Nashville-based Lightning Rod Records; label president Logan Rogers previously worked as Vice President of A&R for Compadre Records on McMurtry’s previous two albums.
