This record is an all-time favorite of mine --- very glad to have it available on vinyl. “Michael Hurley is one of the most beloved cult figures of the Greenwich Village folk scene and his songs have been recorded by everyone from the Holy Modal Rounders and the Youngbloods, to Vetiver and Cat Power. First Songs, recorded in 1964 when Hurley was only 22 years old, shows that his charming, bumming, hippie, wino persona was fully formed at an early age. The album features the first recorded versions of such Snock classics as ‘The Werewolf Song’ and ‘Captain Kidd.’ Reissued on LP for the first time ever, with deluxe packaging including faithful reproductions of the original jacket and insert.” – Folkways

“Originally released in 1997 in Germany in a press size of 500. These original copies were seized by the government shortly after the records release. Only 150 or so were sold before the seizing, but since copies have leaked out of whatever dank German bureaucratic basement they were relegated to. Still, a very hard record to find for years, now back in print. Our current reissue was remastered from the original tapes & has superior sound quality to the original.

“Culled from Michael’s unreleased output between his ‘First songs’ LP from 1964 & ‘Armchair Boogie’ in 1972. All tracks feature just Michael & guitar. Absolutely beautiful folk music by the singular Snock - in our opinion, one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time.” – Mississippi
