MICHAEL HURLEY - Ida Con Snock LP

"Hurley is a national treasure." - Schott Schindler, Time Out New York

"Whether weaving a yarn about a mysterious hog or comparing the human heart to a mechanic's toolbox, Mr. Hurley create[s] elaborate vistas in a musical version of outsider art." - Ann Powers, New York Times

"Hurley remains one of the elusive masters of American folk." - Chris Morris, Billboard

"A true and deliberate neo-primitive, his inspiration springs from nature, the rural blues, and the lure of remote hills and woodlands, landscapes that loom in the backgrounds of his comics like vast parabolic gumdrops." - Vernon Tonges

"Undoubtedly one of this country's greatest folk singers...." - Chuck Cuminale
