David Lee Murphy's "Dust On The Bottle" and "Party Crowd" have become staples on country radio and have gained a permanent spot on the repertoire of every country music cover act. "Party Crowd" was the most played song on country radio in 1995 and "Dust on the Bottle" spent two weeks at number one. Both songs were on Murphy's debut MCA album Out With A Bang which went platinum and became the best-selling debut album by a male country artist in 1995. That same year The Academy of Country Music nominated Murphy for Top New Male Vocalist.After a three album stint with MCA, Murphy moved to indie label Audium/Koch and quickly returned to the Top 5 with his debut single "Loco" from the album Tryin' To Get There. The album's title track was penned by Murphy and Waylon Jennings. Soon after the release of the second single the label folded and Murphy decided to concentrate on songwriting for other artistsMurphy quickly became one of Nashville's most in demand songwriters whose compositions have been recorded by many of today's country music superstars. Kenny Chesney's “Til It’s Gone”, "Living In Fast Forward" and "Live A Little" as well as Jason Aldean's "Big Green Tractor” & “The Only Way I Know” (featuring Luke Bryan & Eric Church) all landed at the top of the charts. His song "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not" was the first # 1 single for Thompson Square and quickly established the duo as a top selling act. The song garnered two Grammy nominations and six nominations for the 2011 American Country Music Awards. Murphy's "Hell Yeah I Like Beer" as recorded by Kevin Fowler stayed at the top of the Texas Music Chart for six straight weeks and his compositions "Always The Love Songs" (Eli Young Band) and "Way Out Here" (Josh Thompson) became the first Top 15 Billboard country singles for each artist.
