Description:New LIMITED EDITION LP

NEW UNPLAYED COPY!

New VERY LIMITED EDITION (A SELF PRODUCED REISSUE BY MICHAEL HURLEY JUST BEFORE HE passed a couple of months ago)

Choosing his own front cover ( the one he originally wanted used for the original Folkways release in 1964)

A new deluxe edition of some of Michael's first recordings! Tip on cover with glued wrap around print! New liner notes with never before published photos and words from Michael! 

   This is a small art edition that, believe it or not, Michael finished working on two weeks before he passed away. A real treasure not to be missed.

If you haven’t been following his career since the 1970’s (when he was collaborating with the likes of the Holy Modal Rounders and Jesse Colin Young) then you probably discovered him in the past couple of years via Devendra Banhart’s & Andy Cabic’s label Gnomonsong, who have released Hurley’s recent recordings.

Hurley’s debut album, First Songs, was recorded for Folkways Records in 1965 on the same reel-to-reel machine that taped LeadBelly’s Last Sessions. He was discovered by blues and jazz historian Frederick Ramsey III, and subsequently championed by boyhood friend Jesse Colin Young, who released Hurley’s next two album on The Youngbloods’ Warner Brother’s imprint, Raccoon. How’s that for cred?

In the 1970s, Hurley made three albums for Rounder Records; Have Moicy! (1975), Long Journey (1976), and Snockgrass (1980) which after being out of print for decades are now being reissued on Light In The Attic Records.

In recent years, tours with Son Volt and high praise from younger performers like Lucinda Williams, Vic Chesnutt, Calexico, and Cat Power, have increased Hurley’s legend.
