A unique vinyl LP tribute to American outsider folk musician Michael Hurley (aka Doc Snock), produced in close collaboration with Michael who selected and sequenced the 10 tracks from a large number of contributions. Some tunes were recorded specially for the occasion (Calexico, Cass McCombs, The Hackles, dbh and Little Sue) while others were picked up along the way (Cat Power, Yo La Tengo, The Chicken Chokers, Vernon Tonges and Jason D. Williams). The tracks were selected and mastered specially to create a fine unity of all the selections as though all were performed in the same place on one day. Includes 4-panel insert, with double-spread Michael Hurley painting.
