Description from record label:
“Near the end of his life, Hasil Adkins met Amy Krueger. They fell in love. Hasil wrote a bunch of songs for Amy, and recorded them at home in West Virginia. He sent them to Amy. Amy promised him that they would get released someday. It took a while after Hasil’s death before Amy felt emotionally equipped to deal with the project but here, at last, is the album. This is Hasil at his most soulful and tender, like you have never heard him before. You think you know Hasil Adkins, but you might be wrong. Includes a 24 page full color illustrated book entitled “The Story of Hasil and Amy; A Love Story” by Amy Krueger. Old school ‘tip on’ cover.”
Very hard to find in the UK.
