MICHAEL HURLEY - Blueberry Wine, Locust

Blueberry Wine: The First Songs of Michael Hurley is the first proper reissue of these fabled 1964 recordings (previously issued by Folkways records) by this legendary, eccentric nomadic folk singer. A frequent collaborater with the Holy Modal Rounders with releases on Rounder, Koch, Warner Brothers subsidiary Raccoon and a host of other labels, for close to 40 years Michael Hurley has lived the life of a modern day Johnny Appleseed: moving about the country collecting great tales, drawing funny pictures, sharing his crazy-beautiful songs and building an unflinching fan base (including, among others, Cat Power and Yo La Tengo) that extends from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine and the world over. The genesis of these earliest recordings was the result of such travels. Recorded on the same Starmaker microphone and reel-to-reel tape as Leadbelly's final sessions, Blueberry Wine features the perennial fan favorite the Werewolf Song and 11 other matchless, introspective and quirky songs on the theme of heartbreak, rage, wandering about and getting drunk. Features brand new retrospective liner notes by Hurley. New hand painted cover artwork by Hurley as he originally envisioned the LP. Deluxe packaging. Digitally remastered from the original master tapes.
