Album Description

A Mexican/American Collaboration. The Creative Process Behind Canciones de Amor (Songs of Love). Love songs play an integral role in everyone’s life. We all have our favorite songs that either spark pleasant or, at times, not- so-pleasant memories of days gone by. The expression of the written word allows us to cherish another human being, whether the relationship lasts a short while or for the rest of our lives; these are the songs that define our lifelong journey. James Murphy has experienced love’s emotions that approach us from all sides and has been able to present these sentimental angles through the most memorable lyrical content and theme-driven compositions we’ve heard in some time. As a singer/songwriter/entertainer for decades, his vocal range and stylings have suited blues, country, and Americana genres, as his past recordings reflect. But his voice is not suited to portray the beautiful emotional songs of love he has composed. That is, until Joshua Lucero stepped into his life. Joshua has the velvety voice of a Julio Iglesias, a Luis Miguel, a Marc Anthony ….. but in truth, Joshua is Joshua. A vocal sensation. Perfect pitch. He makes you want to fall in love all over again. His voice alone gives us hope. Throughout this 16-song collection (8 in Spanish and the same 8 songs in English) Joshua, copying Murphy’s lyrical attempts, transformed these love songs into songs that you will listen to over and over again. This Mexican/American joint effort is beautifully portrayed in Canciones de Amor (Songs of Love). The eight selected love songs are written, arranged, and produced by Central New York composer James Robert Murphy, who now resides in El Paso, TX. They are translated and sung in Spanish and English by Juarez, Mexico native Joshua Lucero, a young man introduced to Mr. Murphy by the University of Texas at El Paso Opera director, Cherry Duke. The Murphy/Lucero Project is part of the ongoing 2920 Sessions organized in El Paso, TX at El Rancho Pequeño. Mr. Lucero is joined by El Paso’s premier vocal coach, Monica Gutierrez, on Two Flames Burning. Where noted, educator Curt Bushaw plays bass, and educator Ruben Gutierrez plays piano, Fender Rhodes, and strings. Additional instrumentation is created and performed by Mr. Murphy.
