Hasil Adkins - Leaves and Autumn Tape

Here is a tape of Hasil's music that I don't believe has ever been released before. And the few songs that have been released are different recordings. In fact, on one track you can hear rain falling in the background. I'm assuming all of these were recorded in Hasil's shack in West Virginia. I got this tape from his girlfriend about 3 or 4 years ago.

April was Hasil's death month and birth month, so it's a great time to listen to his music and think about what a fascinating life he led.

So sit back, eat some meat and maybe have an adult beverage or two. Listen to some "late night music," and celebrate the life and legacy of the World's Greatest Guitarist and One Man Band....

(now don't go bootlegging this, it's free to all. download it, throw it on your device and enjoy)
