Title: Blue Hills Artist: Michael Hurley Label: Mississippi Records Product Type: VINYL LP UPC: 850024931497 Genre: Folk Release Date: 2010-08-01 Number of Discs: 1
On this LP we find Michael Hurley stretching out on six longer-than-usual compositions that are heartbreaking & beautiful as anything he's ever done.Side one features Hurley on a creaky pump organ and a Hammond organ. Side two starts out with two newer compositions - just Michael on guitar & vocals. The record ends with a stunning version of Tea Song (which Michael originally wrote & recorded way back in 1963).A sustained feeling of loss & need for redemption haunts this record. It ain't easy listening, but then what worth a damn is?Includes insert with Michael's notes on the songs and some artwork.
