    4-Track Adventures... was originally released in 1996 by the now defunct Moon Records and has been out of print since 2000. It's a pleasant little album containing the kind of soulful acoustic ditties that would probably best be heard while lounging atop an old rocking chair and looking out from your front porch on a warm summer day. Murray's songs are simple but skillful blends of reggae, ska, and oldies radio that will undoubtedly take a good while to get out of your head. Just try listening to the infectious opener "Rock Steady" without singing along. It's impossible. If you're looking for a CD to chase the clouds away on a rainy day, give this one a shot.
