To celebrate this year of Wildfire Wednesdays and the 50th anniversary of Wildfire, we're ringing back to one of the favorites you've told us about... "I first heard Micheal perform “Wildfire” on the TV show Midnight Special around 1977 and I was immediately taken with the song. Over the years, I have covered it hundreds of times and it continues to be among the most popular on my set list." Thanks to Jud H for sharing that memory, and thanks to everyone who shared their special Wildfire stories with us this year! #WildfireMemories #wildfire50 #wildfirewednesday #wildfirememories #wildfirestory #happynewyear2026

“I had a beautiful buckskin, Smoke. My first horse and the one true love of my life. I got her as a green broke 4 year old. I didn’t know much back then, but I read Horse and Rider every month cover to cover and learned. Lots of ground work and bonding in the first two years. But we rode 6 days a week her entire life. She moved with me to Florida, Chicago, and back home to Indiana. Even got married on her riding side saddle in Colorado. One especially snowy night in February, while boarding her in a temporary pasture with an old barn, I felt the need to go check on her. It was treacherous driving to get there. The wind was howling, it was dark, and snow blowing everywhere. I made my way to the fence but couldn’t see her. I called and called, as loud as I could, looking all around. Nothing and no one was there. Finally, out of the woods, she came running to me. I was happy to know that she and the other horses had hidden themselves in the woods. After 25 years together, she died in my lap. I witnessed a miracle in her passing. As she lay sedated, upon administering the lethal blue medicine, she turned her head swiftly, looked behind her, high in the sky, and then she left. God had called my beautiful girl home. Ever kind, ever willing, she went to him faithfully. I made an online memorial for her on critters.com. The first page opens with MMM Wildfire…that beckoning piano…I go there on occasion to pay special tribute to Smoke. To sing along, as long as I can muster, tears running down my face like the main line is busted…She ran calling Wiiiildfire…as I write this, the tears flow so willingly. I have asked this to be played at my funeral. I sure hope I’m riding Smoke at that time! Thank you MMM for helping us mend our broken horse hearts.”

"I grew up listening to Murph, and Wildfire was the one that played almost as much as Cowboy Logic. My parents raised me to be a cowgirl through and through. Music saved me in the darkest of times, especially when losing loved ones. Wildfire is the song that I had my best friend listen to when I tought her about Michael Martin Murphy. I was given the chance to see him at the Cowboy Christmas Ball last year in Colorado. Getting to meet Murph was a dream, I felt like I knew him for years. I was given a horseshoe by my dad that his buddy gave him. That horseshoe belonged to one of the dancing horses. Thank you for the connection." Thanks to Riley W for sharing her Wildfire Story!

"My sorrel horse, Chico was my mounted patrol partner for 10 years. He trusted me and I trusted him. Just before he was injured and had to be put down, I saw an owl outside my window. This song makes me think of him, how he protected me at work and the unbreakable bond we had. I actually met Mr. Murphy twice at Frontier days in Cheyenne. I have photos with him and our mounted unit." Thank you to Emily J for sharing her Wildfire Story!

Dear Nic,

Thank you for inviting me to an event of outpouring love this morning. Nic, it was a truly spiritual, yet very human, down-to-earth experience to sing for the remarkable residents of the Hilltop Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Weatherford. I’m so thankful for this shining moment in time on Thanksgiving Weekend, 2025, thanks to singularly remarkable lady who carries Taylor Sheridan’s name with panache, style and compassion. You remind me of that classic movie star Audrey Hepburn, who brought beauty and grace to so many charitable causes.

"I grew up on this song. As a little girl I used to sing it "wildflower" for years and years I thought that was the lyrics. My Uncle Dan was the one who told me that wasn't the lyrics and referred to me as "wildflower" for quite some time while I was growing up. (Especially times when I did something silly.) This song will forever remind me of him, and growing up camping and running around in the Jemez mountains in Northern New Mexico. ♡" Thank you Amanda T for sharing this special Wildfire Memory!

"Thank you for giving to the victims and families of the floods in Texas. I told my son last night that the best song I ever heard in concert was your song ‘Wildfire’. It was late 80’s or early 90’s, you and your band were on the bill with the Oak Ridge Boys in Sulphur Springs, TX. It was the musicians, the instruments, your guitar and voice. It was just a perfect sound to my ears. It’s still the best song I’ve ever heard performed in concert. Sadly I’ve not made the effort to see you play again. But that song is perfect to me as it was played that Friday night. Thank you!" Thanks to Terry F for sharing his Wildfire Memory!

Murphey, who has also been honored with the same award, praised Alexander for his artistry and dedication to preserving the spirit of authentic Texas music. “It’s a special thing to see someone like Abraham carrying forward the kind of creativity and heart that Stephen Bruton stood for,” Murphey said. “We share this honor, and I couldn’t be prouder to see it in such good hands.”

"Dear Mr. Murphey, this year marks 50 years since the world first heard Wildfire. For my parents, your songs have never been just music, they’ve been the soundtrack of their lives. My parents, Jim and Karen, have been among your biggest fans. I was born in 1978, and from my earliest days the album Wildfire was playing in the background. In fact, they love your music so much they named me after one of your songs, Blessing in Disguise…and I get the privilege to tell that story every time I’m asked why they named me Blessing. As a baby, I even had the chance to “meet” you. My parents ran into you at a record store in the late 70’s, in Baton Rouge, LA. My mother proudly shared their story, and introduced me to you. Your exact response was, “You named her Wildfire?” Of course, I was far too young to remember, but they’ve told me about that moment so many times that it feels like I can recall it myself. As an early anniversary gift, I’m surprising my parents with tickets to see your show on November 13th in Memphis, Tennessee. The timing feels perfect. They’ll soon celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, which means half a century of love, laughter, and devotion, all held together with memories, and often your songs. To me, it feels like everything has come full circle…50 years of Wildfire…50 years of Jim and Karen, and me, their unexpected “Blessing in Disguise”, forever shaped by the music that first brought them joy. Thank you for being part of their love story, and mine. 🥰 Cheers to 50 years." Thank you Blessing for sharing this Wildfire Memory.

"I met Michael when I was a month old. We have been attending the Cowboys Christmas Ball and the Cowboy hall of fame in Oklahoma since then. I will be 30 in November, but have known him 31 years. Throws everyone off. Anyways, growing up Wildfire has always always been my top favorite by him. One year he gave me an autographed and signed poster about Wildfire. My Mema passed away, it will be three years in December. Wildfire was her most favorite song. We played it at her funeral, so now this song holds a whole different level of love and is near and dear to me. Him doing this version with Cody Johnson is SO exciting for me as I travelled to many many concerts until I finally got to meet him! They knocked this out of the park! Wildfire thank you for creating a love and a bond for me with my grandma that I can cherish forever even with her not being with us anymore!" Thanks to Kaela W for sending in her Wildfire Story.

"Wildfire was always a favorite of mine as a child in the 1970s, but it became a family song about 15 years ago. Staying at the Texas Coast, my sister and I and our 4 kids were riding back to the condominium after dinner one night. Wildfire came on and we rolled down the windows, turned up the volume, and the 6 of us belted the whole song out as loud as we could as we entered the condo parking lot. As the song finished, we unloaded ourselves out of the minivan smiling and feeling so happy, and a couple that was walking past commented on how much they wished they were a part of our family!❤️ That song has carried through for these 15-ish years as a family anthem. Whenever it comes on the radio, we send pictures of ourselves to each other singing loudly. We all have CD versions of it for our cars. When the piano intro begins, our hearts are always one even though we all live in different cities now. It is OUR song!" Thank you to Carol N for shaing this week's Wildfire Memory!

In this picture from 1971, Michael Martin Murphey and Bob Livingston Music stand in front of a hand-drawn poster. This photo was taken before the official formation of the Lost Gonzo Band, which included Bob Livingston and played for Murph as well as other "cosmic cowboys" such as Jerry Jeff Walker. #throwbackthursday

"Our story begins 50 years ago, same time as Wildfire. Tonja and I started dating in 1974 and ours was a love at first sight. I fell in love with her even before I knew her name. We were married 10 months later in 1975. We heard Wildfire earlier in 1975 while dating and we called this "our song". A song of hope, no matter the good times nor the rough times. Through the years no matter how life was going, we always had each other and we always had Wildfire. As the music started we would stop what we were doing to listen and hold hands and look into each others eyes. We finally had the opportunity to hear Michael sing at a concert in Abilene with an orchestra. It was so beautiful and brought tears of joy to our eyes. We were brought backstage to meet Michael and get a picture with him. It was our anniversary. He was so kind and gracious to us. When we were going to develop the pictures, we discovered I had not loaded the film in the camera correctly. Heart broken, no picture, but we met the man who sang our song. Months later, we had the opportunity to hear and meet again. We explained what happened... took another picture. Now, anytime that we have the opportunity to hear Michael we do, from Red River, New Mexico to anywhere in Texas. We became friends! We attended several Cowboy Christmas Balls, and our church hosted the Cowboy Christmas Ball several times. Our entire family, 5 generations, love Michael and his family. We all love "Our song Wildfire". Our great grandchildren call Michael, "Uncle Murph". Our granddaughter has had the opportunity to sing with Michael on several occasions, and now to hear her play the guitar and sing Wildfire makes our hearts full! We are blessed beyond words and our lives are full and like a Wildfire. I could go on how this song has touched our entire family. I tell everyone, Michael wrote Wildfire for us, our song. Our entire marriage has had Wildfire and Michael Martin Murphey, and we know God gave this to us. Wildfire came to Michael in a dream, and Wildfire has filled our lives with dreams."

THROWBACK THURSDAY
On Nashville Now in 1991, Michael Martin Murphey talked with Ralph Emery about how his grandfather influenced his love of cowboy music. #throwbackthursday #nashvillenow #cowboysongs

"The first time I heard Wildfire my girlfriend and I were sitting on a swing, star gazing, listening to a transistor radio. Wildfire came on and I instantly fell in love with the melody and story. For weeks I would rush home from school hoping to hear this song again, usually only catching the piano at the end. The love for your song only strengthened over the years. Wildfire was played at my wedding, my wife loved the song too. We were blessed with 3 boys and we sang Wildfire every night when we put them to sleep. Our boys grew up loving the song. Our oldest son was taken from us in a car wreck and Wildfire was played at the funeral, we know he smiled down from heaven when he heard it! He left us with 2 small grandchildren and we were again blessed with 3 more grandchildren from our other 2 sons. We played and sung Wildfire for each of them every night we had them. Our 2 youngest grandchildren, age 2 and 3, live with us and every night at the dinner table they ask us to play Wildfire, they play the "air piano" and sing along with the song, they love it! Wildfire is now 3 generations strong in our family. It is amazing 1 song could create so many memories, span so many generations and hold a special place in every one of our family members hearts. Thank you for the memories you have given us!" Thank you John P for sharing this amazing Wildfire story. Share your Wildfire Story today at...

THROWBACK THURSDAY
In late 2024, Michael Martin Murphey and Cody Johnson came together to record a version of Wildfire featuring Cody. This version comes out on all platforms tomorrow. Pre-save it now at https://ffm.to/wildfire50.OFP

This special edition 50th anniversery edition of Wildfire featuring Cody Johnson is available this Friday. It may be new to you and it may be old hat, but it's a modern classic. Available through your prefered music service - through link in murph's instagram bio.

"I was a horse crazy 14 year old girl when the song came out, living in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Late at night, and only late at night, I could listen on my transistor radio to the Canadian station that played top 40 music. I think it was CKLW. I would lie with that radio next to my face on my pillow and wait every night to hear that song played, as they usually did. It gave me such peace and strength at a very troubling time in my life, as it still does today when I hear it. One of my favorite parts is "there's been a hoot owl outside my window now, for six nights in a row". I was astonished to hear the explanation for that verse Michael gave me when I asked him to write it on the guitar I got from him, with the words to the song handwritten on the guitar by him. What a treasure, as is the song." Thanks so much to Aimee G for sharing her Wildfire story! Share yours today at...

#throwbackthursday

"In 1980 my uncle (my mom’s baby brother) was killed in an automobile accident. He had loved Wildfire. He and I were only a year apart. He was a senior in high school. Fast forward to Sept 2019: a concert, an auctioned guitar, and the words to a song that has been a precious memory of our dear son, brother, uncle, friend that will never be forgotten. The signed guitar and the sweet words from Michael Martin Murphy that evening left me with a touchable tangible reminder of the person who left us all too soon."
