[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]

"The recordings Contained herein are contained here after many years on the shelf..."
So begin Michael Hurley's notes to these unbelievably great recordings from 1964, recorded by Fred Ramsey as part of the same sessions that resulted in Michael's First Songs LP on Folkways.

Side A starts with What'llya Do, What'llya Say?, a pretty psychedelic classic that can very well put you into some kinda trance. After that we hear The Blues Had Gone Away - a sad drifty little tune, then Pretty Girl On Rollerskates, with a rare Hurley harmonica solo & hallucinatory lyrics worthy of some examination, and then a beautiful alternate take on one of Michael's all time greats - The Tea Song. Side B starts up with yet more alternate takes of songs from the Folkways LP - this time of Intersoular Blues & I Like My Wine. After that we get to hear two great compositions for the first time, & man oh man are they pretty - Hey Hey Hey Hey & I Love You Babe.

Real great stuff all around that we recommend for deep into its Hurley fans & newcomers to his art alike. Michael Hurley is a great American songwriter with his own unique way of seeing the world. This LP is a great testament to his vision. Housed in an old school paste over sleeve and comes with a liner notes booklet written by Michael.
