Sagebrush Symphony is the nineteenth album by American singer-songwriter
Michael Martin Murphey , his second live album since his 1979 live/studio album Peaks, Valleys, Honkytonks and Alleys, and his first album with a symphony orchestra. Recorded live with the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra, this ambitious album, which presents cowboy songs and poems in a symphonic setting, contains a selection of Murphey's most popular songs, as well as traditional cowboy music. Murphey turns in "an impassioned performance" and the inclusion of guest artists
Sons of the San Joaquin , Ric Orozco, Herb Jeffries, and Robert Mirabal "adds to the musical diversity and richness of the album."
