 Event Date End: 2009-07-14\n\nMcGonigel's Mucky Duck presents Willis Alan 
 Ramsey.\nWillis Alan Ramsey\, a singer-songwriter with deep Texas roots\, 
 released his first and only album\, called Willis Alan Ramsey\, in 1972 on
  Leon Russell's Shelter Records label. The recording was a critical succes
 s that included 'Boy From Oklahoma'\, a tribute to Woody Guthrie. Jimmy Bu
 ffett and Jerry Jeff Waker\, among others\, covered Ramsey's songs\, but t
 he song that became best known was a knockoff Ramsey called 'Muskrat Candl
 elight'. Released by the pop group America\, it was later recorded and ret
 itled 'Muskrat Love' by The Captain and Tennille and reached the Billboard
  Top 10\, becoming one of the most popular songs of our time. Ramsey event
 ually left both Shelter Records and the United States\, moving to Great Br
 itain in the 1980's to explore Celtic songwriting and instrumental traditi
 ons.\nWhen he returned to the United States\, he was reintroduced to Lyle 
 Lovett\, who had run the University of Texas coffeehouse where Ramsey play
 ed in the early 1970's. He and Lovett wrote the song\, 'North Dakota'\, he
 ard on Lovett's 1992 album\, Joshua Judges Ruth. A few years later\, Shawn
  Colvin recorded 'Satin Sheets' which helped stimulate interest in a new R
 amsey recording. Lovett\, who called Willis Alan Ramsey 'one of the greate
 st records of all time'\, has since covered a newer Ramsey song\, 'Sleepwa
 lking'. With a new album still in the works\, Ramsey has begun touring for
  the first time in seven years\, performing this year at the Smithsonian's
  Woody Guthrie Tribute in Washington DC\, the Kerville Folk Festival\, the
  annual Folk Alliance Convention in Cleveland\, The Bluebird Cafe in Nashv
 ille and several shows around the Southwest.\nHis self titled debut record
 ing has been re-released by Koch Records and is creating a whole new gener
 ation of fans around the world.\nFrom the National Museum of American Hist
 ory.\n\nStart time: 7:30pm
