A Little Bit Of Grace And Decay - OST John Murray & Michael Timmins

The Soundtrack to accompany the Award winning Documentary "The Graceless Age: The Ballad Of
John Murry".
Written and performed by John Murry and Mike Timmins (Cowboy Junkies).
The film has already won Best Irish Documentary at the 35th Galway Film Fleadh and will be premiering in
the UK later this year.
Directed by Sarah Share best known for her multi award winning ‘If I Should Fall from Grace’ - the Shane MacGowan Story.
This haunting film is the story of American singer songwriter John Murry, who was on the cusp of
greatness after the release of his highly acclaimed album The Graceless Age (2013), when his world
fell apart.
Addicted to heroin and creatively exhausted, he washed up on the shores of Ireland, a broken man.
Now, he retraces his steps back to Mississippi into the dark heart of American life and faces his demons- a neglected childhood, traumatic assault, and resulting years of opioid addiction.
John also explores his family links to the Nobel Prize winning author William Faulkner.
His adopted grandmother Mimi would tell him if anyone was imbued with the spirit of Bill Faulkner, it was John.
She also told him that his famous ancestor was also addicted to opiates.
Yet, throughout his long period of substance abuse he was constantly writing and performing.
Like Faulkner, Murry's lyrics embrace the dark side of American life - an anger that is born in the rotting underbelly of Mississippi history.
Reminiscent at times of Neil Young or Wilco, Murry's music is classic Americana.
