Michael Hurley
Fatboy Spring
2025 Mississippi

Recordings from 1972-73! Great early versions of classic Michael 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 & breezy. Comes with liner notes written by Michael.
