(1975) Say It Ain't So is Murray's most popular release, both in terms of album sales and in the title track. The disc cover for Say It Ain't So states the songs were from an abandoned musical called Atlantis, but it doesn't elaborate on what his vision for Atlantis was.

This album is considered by many fans to be Murray's crowning achievement. The song 'Say It Ain't So' is repetitive and folkie; just try to get it out of your head after listening to it! Murray slowly and slowly turns up the rock factor as the song progresses.

A couple tracks, such as 'Boy on the Bridge,' are more modern (for the 70's of course) and rely heavily on electric guitars. In general, the rest of the album is relatively tame.

After hearing him in musicals, this album will throw a couple of surprises at you, with songs like 'Silence is a Strong Reply' demonstrating some vocal qualities never heard in Chess or JCSS. Next Album ->
