- Western AF presents "I Paint a Design" with Michael Hurley ft. Kassi Valazza & Merle Law
...
The Legendary lionized freak-folk’ king, Michael Hurley.
Michael Hurley, aka Snock, Elwood, Dr. Elwood Snock, Kornbred is what many in the music listening community have deemed as America’s freak-folk outsider. You may know him from songs like “Hog Of The Forsaken,” one of the featured closing credits songs on HBO’s “Deadwood.” Or a personal favorite of this writers, “Be Kind To Me.”
Now at 82, Snock is now seeing a rise, with new music listeners coming to his shows and jamming out to this absolute legend.
In May of last year, the WAF team got a call from our comrade Kassi Valazza about making a video with him. The acclaimed bar the Laurel Thirst was kind enough to host us a couple of hours before they opened for happy hour. Michael’s accomplice Lewi Longmire, who we owe an undying amount of gratitude for making this video happen, was a huge help in getting us set up with this video. Kassi and Merle Law, who are talented AF and Dr. Snock's good friends, we're terrific singing this song with him. It was amazing to see these two work together as Hurley rusted out this fan favorite song. But also, seeing them interact and treating him like a family member, was something to behold.

Aw, it's good to see Hurley getting the love he deserves. The man is incredible.
been obsessed with this for a while now
Western AF... idk about that... this is Vermont AF ! Love to Hurley and westernaf for sharing his music so widely in these times!! Bless you all, so lovely to see him out there in the world still tearing it up
Y'all have put me on so many artists I've never heard before Western AF but this is my favorite artist I've never heard of before.
Its nice they studied our original harmonies!
Jill & Meg
-And so great the "young folks" appreciate the Snock man!
Ain't no denyin' that THIS is the real deal. Kudos to the ladies for nailing this, it's like singing harmonies with Willie - no chart, no template, just LISTEN and git it right! 🙏
This was so touching to see! The youngers backin' up the elders
love Michael Hurley. I've got some of his original vinyls
Sell em to me ;p
Came to RUclips to specifically play this song and, what would you know, this live version had been uploaded just 2 days ago. Might just be my favourite version yet.
An American treasure.... saw him earlier this year in Portland Maine. Thank you
amen on the treasure
I was at that show! What a treat
@@nickfitzham SPACE is the place!
Damn.
I guess I have some listening homework ahead of me. This was fantastic. Great harmonies backing up Mr. Hurley.
I caught Kassi in Boise, Idaho on her spring 2024 run. Simply amazing. I'll keep an eye out for Merle Law.
Thanks, y'all
Absolute legend. All songwriters should take notice!
The backing harmonies of Kassi and Merle are absolutely wonderful here. This is amazing. And you can actually feel the warmth in this video from the love and appreciation of a great legend. Find you someone who looks at you the way these gals look at Hurley!
I'd settle for finding somebody who looks and sings the way Kassi does. She introduced me to Mr Hurley with her duet of 'I Stole The Right to Live' with Taylor Kingman.
His music is heaven. thanks from Brazil
🙌
What a privilege to be the little mouse in the corner watching these three just loving this music ! Thank you
Yes! I was that mouse!
Just happened upon this and now I’m hooked. Thanks. Didn’t know what I was missing.

This is beautiful. You captured a piece of music history, and I am very grateful to you for it.
