David Lee Murphy

David Lee found the "Party Crowd" he was looking for in 1995, when his sing-along party anthem captured the imagination of the country crowd. With four hits now-- "Party Crowd," which Radio & Records magazine dubbed the “most played song of 1995”, the follow-up #1 smash Dust On the Bottle, his 1994 debut, Just Once, and now The Road You Leave Behind has cracked the Top 10 on the Crook & Chase Country Countdown -- David Lee has set himself apart from the crowd of new country singers. His upbeat, energetic attitude is built on a solid, serious songwriting foundation that makes his music memorable for what it says as well as for how it makes you feel.

David Lee arrived in Nashville in 1983. From the first day, he tried to win recognition as a songwriter. He moved from club to club, building his reputation. His first major artist cut was “Red Roses Won’t Work Now” by Reba McEntire in 1985. That was the first step in what he laughingly refers to as “the 10-year program” of paying dues and scratching out a living. David Lee’s goal was to perfect his songwriting art so that he could write songs for himself to record. By the fall of 1994, he was too strong to hold back, signing a deal with MCA.

His album, Out With A Bang, is filled with what he calls "Saturday - night - in - the - pickup - truck - with - the - windows - rolled - down - having - a - good - time - party music." Honky tonks and pickup trucks provide the backdrops, but the songs run much deeper than that. The man looking for the "Party Crowd," for example, is not really the happy guy the title might suggest. "Just Once" and "Out With A Bang" are more than come-on invitations; they make strong statements about living life to its fullest.
