Murray McLauchlan - Timberline (1983)
Murray McLauchlan, CM (born June 30, 1948) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, guitarist, pianist, and harmonica player.
Born in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, he emigrated to Canada with his family when he was five years old. At 17, he began playing at coffeehouses in Toronto's Yorkville area and later attended Central Tech as an art student before deciding to become a full-time musician. He is best known in Canada for his Canadian smash hits "The Farmer's Song" and "Down by the Henry Moore", which was about a sculpture in front of Toronto's city hall, where students met in the '60s and early 1970s. McLauchlan has had success in the pop, adult contemporary, country, and folk-music fields, with such songs as "Child's Song," the Juno Award-winning "The Farmer's Song" (1973), "Hurricane of Change" (also 1973), "Do You Dream of Being Somebody" (1975), and "Whispering Rain" (1979).
In 1987, Murray appeared on the children's television show, Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show singing his Juno-Award-Winning The Farmer's Song. He appeared in Season 4 of The Elephant Show on the "Urban Cowboy" episode.
Murray holds a commercial license with instrument rating and endorsements for multi-engine aircraft and seaplanes. In the late 1990s Murray was flying commercial airplanes as a "bush pilot" in Northern Canada. He starred in a television special called Floating over Canada, in which he piloted a Cessna 185 float plane across Canada. This special was broadcast on U.S. public television on PBS, as well as in Canada on CBC.
In 2004 Murray helped form a group known as "Lunch At Allen's" featuring Murray, Marc Jordan, Cindy Church and Ian Thomas. Formed as a result of meeting in Toronto for lunch at Allen's restaurant after Murray's heart bypass surgery. Two CDs have been released as a result of this collaboration: Lunch at Allens (2004) and Catch the Moon (2007).
He won Juno Awards on several occasions throughout the 1970s and 1980s. In 1993, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada. In 1998, Pengiun (Viking Books) released his autobiography The Ballad of Murray McLauchlan: Getting Out of Here Alive.
