Flowing Free Forever is the sixth album by American singer-songwriter Michael Martin Murphey. The album establishes Murphey's love of wide open spaces and his "desire to let his soul roam freely." [2] The album was not as commercially successful as a few of his earlier releases, but "Murphey's visions and persona remain intact." [2] The album contains the song " Cherokee Fiddle", which was later recorded by Johnny Lee for the film soundtrack for Urban Cowboy. Flowing Free Forever peaked at number 130 on the Billboard 200. [2] [3]
