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.

Tracklist:

  • 1. In the Morning
  • 2. Help Me to Get Rid of Her / How Sweet I Roamed
  • 3. The Corridor
  • 4. Shockoe Bottom
  • 5. Meara O’Reilly
  • 6. Tea
