Career
Originally from Buffalo, NY, Gurf moved to Texas in 1975 and initially performed with Blaze Foley, in both Austin and Houston. Moving to Los Angeles in 1981, he met up with Lucinda Williams, a fellow Texas-based musician who had also moved there. He became her accompanist for 11 years (1985 to 1996) and produced two of her records: Lucinda Williams and its follow-up, Sweet Old World. Morlix was involved in the preliminary work on her next project, but eventually left in frustration at the repeated delays in the release of Lucinda's Car Wheels on a Gravel Road album - the album being finally released in 1998, produced by Steve Earle and Ray Kennedy. In 1990 he accompanied Warren Zevon on tour. He relocated back to Austin in 1991. In 2000's he was a member of Ian McLagan's Bump Band.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
