Hurley, Michael
Fatboy Spring
Repress! Recordings from 1972-73! Great early versions of classic Hurley songs such as 'Automatic Slim & The Fatboys,' 'Drivin' Wheel,' 'Ghost Woman Blues,' 'Watchin' The Show' and 'The Portland Water' that come off for the most part better than later releases of these songs. Hurley is backed up by The Fatboys - not the rotund hip hop crew from the film 'Disorderlies' but rather a bunch of not so fat nice guys in Vermont who played mostly for the local dairy farmers (later they were known as Sheriff Mocus & The Deranged Cowboys). A laid back countryish album sure to please the hard core Hurley fan and casual listener too. Deep and breezy. Comes with liner notes written by Michael.
