The recordings Contained herein are contained here after many years on the shelf..."So begin Michael Hurley's notes to these unbelievably great recordings from 1964, recorded by Fred Ramsey as part of the same sessions that resulted in Michael's First Songs LP on Folkways.

"Back Home with Drifting Woods" is a captivating LP by the legendary American folk artist Michael Hurley, released by the renowned label Mississippi Records. This album showcases Hurley's unique blend of whimsical storytelling and heartfelt songwriting, featuring his signature acoustic guitar work and distinctive vocals. The tracks evoke a sense of nostalgia and wanderlust, drawing listeners into intimate tales of homecoming and reflection. Mississippi Records, known for their dedication to preserving rare gems in folk, blues, and world music on high-quality vinyl releases, brings this exceptional record to new audiences with care and authenticity. Michael Hurley has been an influential figure in American folk music since the 1960s. With a career spanning over five decades, he is celebrated for albums like "Armchair Boogie," "Hi Fi Snock Uptown," and "Have Moicy!"?the latter often cited as one of the greatest folk records ever made. His quirky illustrations frequently adorn his album covers, adding another layer to his artistic persona. Revered by both critics and fellow musicians alike (including Devendra Banhart and Cat Power), Hurley's enduring legacy lies in his ability to craft songs that are at once deeply personal yet universally resonant.
