I Make A Wish For A Potato
The Odd Artiste Here & There
Rounder Records, US 2001

"The quintessential Rounder Records artists - we kind of named our company after them - Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber (The Holy Modal Rounders) combined a wildness and wackiness with, paradoxically, both irreverence and a reverence for tradition. If they neglected to mine and include any small corner of American music, it wasn't for lack of trying. Joined here by cohorts Michael Hurley, Jeffrey Frederick and other Rounders and Clamtones"
Michael Hurley: (I'm Gettin Ready To Go; You Got To Find Me; Sweet Lucy; Slurf Song)
