Michael Martin Murphey ~ Wildfire
You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

It's one of mine too. I like peaceful songs like this. But it's kinda sad though like other animal songs like The O'Jays Brandy.

I liked Wildfire from the beginning. Michael Murphey started out as a songwriter in the 1960's.

Mike Murphey wrote this tune for the Monkees. He was friends with Michael Nesmith before Nesmith joined the group. It's also one of my favorites.
