It’s called Christmas Made For Two
and it’s being released this month. Murphy said it contains music that
will both entertain and bring out the Christmas spirit.
“I wanted to swing but I also wanted to
keep it traditional and down to earth where every household can play my
Christmas CD and sing along with it,” he said.
The CD features many musicians from the
Mountain State
and was recorded in Huntington
“Especially when it’s not the season,”
he said. “To really sing Christmas you have to be in that spirit and it’s hard
to channel when you are in the middle of the summer.”
In addition to the CD, Murphy is also
releasing his book “Landau – From Washing Cars to Hollywood Stars” which talks
about his journey from a troubled teen to a rising musician.
“It’s not really like my life story,
it’s my never-ending struggle to make my dreams come true,” he said.
The book is also set to be released in
November. The Christmas CD will be available statewide at Little
General Stores and many other retail outlets, as well as online through Amazon
and at www.landaumurphyjr.com.
A portion of sales from the
CD will benefit The Children’s Home Society of West Virginia.
Murphy kicked off his Christmas tour
over the weekend at the Stonewall Resort near Clarksburg
