Michael Hurley "Knockando," by Michael Hurley, fromAncestral Swamp (Gnomonsong):
Michael Hurley has been a practical joker of sorts for much of his 40-year career, heaving bricks at the stuffiness of the New York folk scene and penning hobo-folk classics such as "What Made My Hamburger Disappear." But the 66-year-old songwriter and fiddler is also a tireless romantic with a passion for transient living to rival Jack Kerouac's. Hurley's songs have been covered by Cat Power and the Violent Femmes, and his 20-plus records compose a discography as wide and eclectic as Tom Waits' or John Hartford's. Say hello to him, and he just might ask you for a ride to his next gig.
