Sounds like: A great night somewhere under the stars. Like Townes, i'm totally confused as to why Hurley(or "Snock", as he's nicknamed) isn't on the cover of Uncut every other week. Let's put it this way, my Michael Hurley compilations i've made for people have been the most-loved. Snock is still out there, so if you EVER get the chance to see him - do not miss it!
For more, get this: Virtually all of Hurley's albums have their fair share of delights. Armchair Boogie, Long Journey, Hifi Snock Uptown, First Songs, are all great. The b*tch is they are pretty hard to get hold of - you can get LPs and some Cd-rs from Honest Johns and Hurley's website respectively. Somebody please sort this out! There's also a new Hurley album out, with the band Ida, which sounds lovely. PS - Hurley's artwork for his albums is always great.
THE WEREWOLF
Probably Snock's most famous song. It should be a standard. From his second LP, Armchair Boogie.
BE KIND TO ME
Again, from Armchair Boogie. Puts me in a good place.
TROUBLED WATERS
I can't get off Armchair Boogie! It's too good! This song was covered by Cat Power, i believe...
SLURF SONG
From Snock's collaboration with some of the Holy Modal Rounders in 1976, "Have Moicy". My favourite song about food, ever.
HOG OF THE FORSAKEN
From the album "Long Journey".
