Thank you for posting about this! I did a Yahoo search on Maury Muehleisen;
if you go to www.maurymuehleisen.com you can read about him, and if you
click on the "Audio" link there are 30 second clips to all the songs on the
album. I really loved what I heard. The songs are very pretty, flourishing
folk-pop featuring Muehleisen's rich, high tenor, and the cover art is
awesome! I don't know that I've ever seen this LP, but I am definitely
going to search for it now.
Just checked on eBay...a copy recently went for $50.99, so it's obviously an
established collectable. Maybe there are some "special European" CDs of it
around. :-)
