Have Moicy! - 50th Anniversary Edition

1976 album that defined the “freak folk” movement, adding lighthearted elements of the counterculture era to traditionally serious folk-rock motifs. In honor of its 50th anniversary, this edition features new liner notes from Jason P. Woodbury. (AAA) Lacquers cut from analog tape and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing. Take a trip back in time to experience the trailblazing album that critic Robert Christgau calls the “greatest folk album of the rock era.”

Broken Homes And Gardens

'Broken Homes and Gardens', the final studio album from Michael Hurley, was completed in March 2025 just before Hurley left for his final shows in Asheville and Knoxville. He had been working on these 11 tracks for the past three years at The Rope Room studio in Astoria, Oregon with the same crew as his 2021 LP 'The Time of the Foxgloves' (Kati Claborn and Luke Ydstei of The Hackles and engineer Brian Bovenizer). As was common with Hurley LP's: there are re-workings of older compositions ('Indian Chiefs and Hula Girls', 'Abomidable Snowman') alongside new songs ('Fava', 'The Monkey') making for a brilliant final collection, and capping off one of the most consequential bodies of work of any American songwriter.

The Time Of The Foxgloves

Michael Hurley's first new studio record in 12 years features eleven songs recorded in Astoria, Oregon during the brief time of year when the foxgloves bloom. Hurley had been workshopping the set at home for the past few years. Friends and collaborators came into town and contributed from afar. The songs are lifted by violin, organ, upright bass, banjo, percussion - but at the center, of course, is the enigmatic Snock, whose songs have grown only more unique and more 57 years after his debut album (First Songs - Folkways, 1964).

It could only be Snock. Heartbreaking, heartfelt, easy and carefree. The glorious opener “Are You Here For The Festival” – punctuated by a pair of violins – came to him while working in the garden. “Little Blue River” floats by on a cloud. The haunting “Jacob’s Ladder” sounds beamed in from another era. Or dimension. Foxgloves is as comforting and wonderful as any Hurley record that has come before it
