Favoriting August 29, 2018: Gently Mixed Up: Michael Hurley



Michael Hurley at our session in 2004

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

Artist Track Album Label Approx. start time
 
Noted for his charmingly simple, story songs sung with a twinkle in his eye, Michael Hurley has to his credit so many solo albums that they're a little had to keep track of. A peripheral player/friend of the Holy Modal Rounders, Hurley is also a fine artist who occasionally adds his homebrew Snock Comix to his website, Snocko News. Lately, a younger generation has been discovering Michael's charms. In honor of his live show coming up at Union Pool in September, I'm re-airing a live set Michael Hurley recorded for John Allen and I, which we ran on our overlapping shows back in 2004.

For this live set with Michael Hurley, I discovered that back when it aired in 2004 John Allen and I didn't list any of the song titles. I've been able to identify some and will list what I think it might be. But if you know the correct ones please do let me know.

melinda, I'm going to see him at Union Pool 9/20, so I thought this set was worth revisiting.

The way he strums and picks absentmindedly while he talks. He's so in it.

I saw mike at what was the worlds oldest coastal spruce picking banjo on the day John Fahey died. Just random. Just perfect. Thanks Irene!

Irene, we don't see you on the new schedule. That can't be right, can it?!

lufkins diner:

Thanks for a very nice Snocko show. The title of 'Everybody's Doin' the Old Time Thing' is 'Indian Chiefs and Hula Girls', which appeared on a 1988 release called Watertower, and the "Around the Curve' song is called "Me and Red", which appeared on a 1999 release titled Weatherhole. The Spanish tune Esqueleto is especially a sign of Mr. Mike's versatility. Very enjoyable to hear that for the first time. Thanks.
