		Murray, like many singers from the early decades of the twentieth century, recorded much material depicting the distrust of rural folk for city ways (in one song, “Sally Green the Village Vamp,” this is reflected by references to Paris fashions, short hair for women, and a taste for liquor).
		Murray not only negotiates a minefield of alliterative, tongue-twisting verbiage, but is genuinely funny in his efforts at exhorting the listener to join in.
		Murray was far more than an extraordinary comedian, though; his career was a testament to the fact that a multifaceted recording artist could thrive without being confined to pigeonholes provided by record company executives.

		The first singer ever to make a living solely from recording, he is ranked by chart researcher Joel Whitburn as the top recording artist of the first decade of the 20th century, and journalist Jim Walsh estimated that he was also the biggest record-seller of the period 1910-1920.
		Murray's career was in decline by the mid-'20s, both because of the rise of jazz (or what, in the hands of the likes of Paul Whiteman, passed for jazz in the '20s) and the introduction of electrical recording, which was kinder to emerging soft-voiced crooners like Rudy Vallée and Bing Crosby.
		Always as much a comedian as a singer, Murray moved into radio acting in the 1930s, though he took another fling at recording on the RCA Victor subsidiary Bluebird Records in the early '40s.
