Title: Fatboy Spring Artist: Michael Hurley Label: Mississippi Records Product Type: VINYL LP UPC: 850024931756 Genre: Folk Release Date: 2025-05-16 Number of Discs: 1
A full LP of never before released Hurley 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 & casual listener too. Deep & breezy. Cover painting by Michael. A co-release with our friends label in San Francisco - Secret Seven.
