Episode 166 features an interview with American singer and songwriter Michael Hurley. Since recording his debut album for the Folkways label in 1965, Hurley has released over 25 albums, writing songs about his unique and frequently humorous take on the world. Hurley, even today at the age of 78, marvels that he has been able to forge a career out of both his music and his original artwork. Despite flying well below the commercial radar for most of his life, his music has now found an appreciative audience with new artists like Kurt Vile (who Hurley supported on his NZ dates), Devendra Banhart, The Violent Femmes, Lucinda Williams and Cat Power. This interview with Michael Hurley was recorded at Golden Dawn, a small club in Ponsonby where he was supporting Tiny Ruins.
