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. 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. When frequent Folkways recordist Fred
Ramsey Jr. saw a young Michael Hurley walking along a stretch
of road called the Federal Twist with his blonde Stella guitar
in hand and picked him up, the two got to talking music, Hurley
played Ramsey his upbeat boozy classic Captain Kidd and the
rest was history. 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.
