DESCRIPTION:
The Wild Murphys' cover version of “Ordinary Man”, Written by Grimsby songwriter Peter Hames and made famous by Christy Moore who released it on an album of the same title in 1985.
The song has stood the test of time because sadly the lyrics, relating to hardship, unemployment and recession are as poignant and relevant here in the second decade of the new millennium as they were in the 80’s.
“Ordinary Man” is available for download from all major music sites. Find out more about the band at www.wildmurphys.com .. More Info Below ..
