It wouldn't be entirely accurate to say lackadaisical troubadour Michael Hurley has experienced a comeback in the past decade. He's always flown pretty far below most casual music fans' radar, and still does for the most part. Heaps of praise and covers by indie songwriters such as Cat Power helped bring him to the attention of a new generation in the late 90s, and the following decade would find him releasing records on Gnomonsong (a label by Devendra Banhart and Andy Cabic) and recording with Tara Jane O'Neil and Ida.
