MICHAEL HURLEY - Fatboy Spring LP

Liner notes by Michael Hurley.

Recordings from 1972-73!

Great early versions of classic Hurley songs such as Automatic Slim and 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 and the Deranged Cowboys'').

A laid back countryish album sure to please the hard core Hurley fan and casual listener too.

Deep and breezy.
