The Time Of The Foxgloves by Michael Hurley on No Quarter Records (the album artwork is a naive painting of two female-presenting figures sat on the running-board of a green car, drinking wine under a starry sky, in front of a wooden house; one of the figures rest their bare feet on the back of a light-brown dog, and foxgloves grow in the foreground around the bare feet of the other figure; the artist name and album title are written in hand-painted yellow serif font across the top of the sleeve)

Michael Hurley - The Time of the Foxgloves

NO QUARTER

Michael Hurley's first new studio record in twelve 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, who refer to Hurley affectionately as Snock. came into town and contributed from afar. The songs are lifted by violin, organ, upright bass, banjo, percussion, plus vocal contributions including harmonies by Kati Clayborn, Lindsay Clark, Josephine Foster and Betsy Nichols - but at the centre, of course, is the enigmatic Snock himself, whose songs have grown only more unique in the fifty-seven years after his debut album, First Songs, released by Folkways in 1964. 
 
Heartbreaking, heartfelt, easy and carefree, Foxgloves is as comforting and wonderful as any Hurley record that has come before it.
