Gurf Morlix Best-known as the guitarist (and producer) on Lucinda Williams’ best records, Morlix is a session player who may be the Americana equivalent of Marc Ribot — a six-stringer whose gifted playing eschews gaudy and flashy to serve the song first. His solo material, including his latest, a covers’ tribute to little-known Austin ne’er-do-well and Morlix pal Blaze Foley (who was murdered at age 39), doesn’t dazzle so much as cumulatively impress. Like his fellow Austinite Jon Dee Graham, Morlix is deserving of a larger audience. $15. The Evening Muse. www.theeveningmuse.com.
