"Spanish is the Loving Tongue" was a favorite from Michael Martin Murphey's 'Cowboy Songs' album. A beautiful story set to equally beautiful music, this Live version (introduction by Waddie Mitchell) was recorded during the 2025 National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko Nevada. It's available now for streaming or purchase through this link - https://linktr.ee/rockin3m It truly was the first song Murph sang on that stage over 40 years ago. | Michael Martin Murphey
