Murray McLauchlan is a 1972 folk rock album by Canadian singer, songwriter, guitarist, pianist, broadcaster and actor, Murray McLauchlan.
Murray travelled to New York City to record this album, between June and July at The Record Plant. This is evident in his backing musicians which include a number of well known American musicians of the time including Tony Levin, Charlie Hayward of the Charlie Daniels Band and David Spinozza. He also enlisted record producer Ed Freeman who had produced Don McLean's best selling album American Pie the previous year.
The album is notable as well for containing the first known commercially released version of the Warren Zevon song "Carmelita", which was not released by Zevon himself until 1976, and was covered by Linda Ronstadt in 1977. McLauchlan performed a version of Carmelita on a 1989 TV show recorded at Toronto's Diamond Club featuring a vocal duet with Canadian alt-country singer Lori Yates.
