Instead of a well-traveled cartoonist who dislikes city living & enjoys pot & trombone impressions, the notes (by jazz fan Fred Ramsey) imply that Hurley's a fragile mental case who'd just kicked heroin. The songwriting puts that notion aside nicely. Even though Hurley is only 22 at the time of recording, animals, werewolves, wine & scratchy voiced yodeling already sport full blown mythologies. Recorded by the same machine that taped Leadbelly. Tracks recently available as 'Blueberry Wine'. Tracklisting: Blue Mountain, You Get Down By the Pool Hall Clickety Clack, I Like My Wine, No No No I Won't Come Down No More, Tea Song, Just a Bum, Raven Rock, Fat Mama, Animal Song, Captain Kidd, Intersoular Blues, Werewolf Song.
