Russell Hoke - Someday Among Flowers
1984
In 2003, Chris King of Eleanor Roosevelt passed me an odd, mysterious CD-R by Russell Hoke called Magic of My Youth. It has a xeroxed cover and very little information beyond the song titles and dates. I later posted a song by Hoke on this blog, lamenting the fact that he never released anything on vinyl. Hoke soon got in touch to let me know that he did in fact do a tiny vinyl edition of another collection called Cosmic Outlaw. Pressed in an edition of 100 copies with handwritten song titles, the album is now hopelessly rare.
In 2009, Hoke belatedly released Magic of My Youth on vinyl, again in an edition of 100. The only place to buy copies is directly so contact him at at Russnbus@yahoo.com for for more info.

This is Russell Hoke. I have just had these songs pressed to vinyl. There is another album called "Cosmic Outlaw," which was pressed on vinyl in 2000. You can contact me through Facebook or Myspace. Just type in my name.
