TRISH MURPHYS LATEST CD GIRLS GET IN FREE TO
BE RELEASED OCTOBER 2003

(Austin, TX – Oct. 16, 2003) -- Trish Murphys highly anticipated fourth album, Girls Get in Free, marks the newest chapter in the story of one of Texas most celebrated and loved singer-songwriters.

Girls Get in Free follows her previous release called Captured, her 2001 live acoustic CD. The newest CD arrives as an exuberant return to the attitude and energy of Crooked Mile (Raven 1997) and Rubies on the Lawn (Doolittle/Mercury, 1999). Produced by Jim Ebert, Girls Get in Free showcases fresh and hard-won ground from a literate, incisive writer hitting her creative stride.

I wanted to make a record for girls," Murphy says of the CDs colorful title. A lot of Texas music at the moment is written from a guy perspective, and it started me thinking about all the girls at concerts -- the ones up on the guys shoulders, singing along at the top of their lungs. How much fun would it be to have our own anthems to sing?"

Gutsy barnburners like The Trouble with Trouble" are destined for Austin songwriter immortality. The trouble with trouble is/it starts out as fun, fun, fun," crows the chorus; Thelma and Louise" tells the story-behind-the-story of the popular film; a duet with Bob Schneider gives an edgy twist to the Lyle Lovett song Cowboy Man" that puts the girl in charge; Eternal Dream" and One for the Boys", on the other hand, display the range of depth, tenderness and simplicity that mark a true career songwriter.

Girls Get in Free follows the national media and industry attention Murphy received from Rubies on the Lawn, including a week touring with Lilith Fair and appearances on Mountain Stage and World Cafe. Girls Get in Free is available through Crystal Clear Distribution. To schedule an interview with Ms. Murphy, contact Jennifer Hill. High resolution photos available upon request.
