Michael Martin Murphey1945年3月14日出生在Texas的Oak Cliff，并在DALLAS长大。他从小就对牛仔故事和歌曲特别着迷——尤其是Mark Twain 和William Faulkner的作品。他还尝试着自己写诗。在60年代早期，他初中时就开始在DALLAS附近的酒吧表演，综合了乡村，民谣和摇滚。尽管听众都有着固有的保守性格，可MURTHEY还是成功了。随即他组建了一只乐队并在DALLLAS地区有着一批不错的追随者。
《Swans Against the Sun》这张专辑帮MURTHEY取得了更大的成功，这其中包括了他第一首乡村打帮歌《A Mansion on the Hill》和同年（1976）的 《Flowing Free Forever》,另外。这张专辑里的《Cherokee Fiddle》也是MURTHEY一首成功的单曲。6年后JOHNNY LEE把他带进了TOP 10和电影都市牛郎，并让乡村音乐在美国乃至许多其他国家风靡一时。到了1981年，他已经被人熟知为MICHAEL MURPHEY，从那年开始他开始不断在电影里露面从Gus Trikonis'的影片 Take This Job and Shove It,开始，他在电影或者专集里加上他的中名，以跟演员MARTIN MURTHY区别开来。
1982年，MURTHEY跟LIBERTY RECORDS签约，并出了2张原创专集《 Michael Martin Murphey》和《The Heart Never Lies》, 不但重新录制了他在A&M 和 Epic 的打榜歌，并且推出了加盟LIBERTY后的原创歌曲《Still Taking Chances》、《Love Affairs》、《Don't Count the Rainy Days》、《Will It Be Love》 和《Radio Land》后者受美国人喜爱的程度不亚于“美国派”美国乡村音乐协会" The American Country Music Association提名他为1983年的年度最佳新人男歌手 他重新录制的"Carolina in the Pines" 冲进乡村榜Top 10 in 1985,甚至超过了原始的Epic版本. 尽管他现在主要精力在牛仔音乐，他仍旧会组织一系列叫WEST FEST的年度庆典。2005年，他发行了一张关于现在大牧场生活的合集，叫做《Storm Over the Rangelands》。
Murphey has had a successful music career that has spanned four decades and included such musical genres as folk, country, rock, popular, western, and cowboy music. As a singer, songwriter, and producer, he has contributed some of the best-loved songs of his generation. His songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, John Denver, Cher, Lyle Lovett, Flatt and Scruggs, Claire Hamill, Hoyt Axton, Roger Miller, Bobbie Gentry, Michael Nesmith, and the Monkees. Murphey is the narrator of the short film Spirit of the Cowgirl at the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas
Murphey played a major role in the resurrection of the cowboy song genre, recording and producing some of the most successful cowboy music of the past forty years. His album Cowboy Songs inspired a whole series of albums. For his accomplishments in the Western and Cowboy Music field, Murphey received five awards from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, formerly known as the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City.
