On Top Of Fool's Hill
On Top of Fool's Hill (1981) was Michael Jerling's first recording and a limited number of the original vinyl pressing in shrink-wrap are still available. Recorded at Ranger Records in Oak Park, IL, the album was produced by Randy Rice, Victor Sanders & Izzy Reinish and engineered by Victor Saunders. The album features ten original songs, five of which, Mr. Billy Bones, Everybody's Scared, Marry Me, Mary Edwards, Lullabye, and Just A Good Boy Tryin' To Go Bad, have never been reissued on CD.
MJ Says - I had almost no studio experience when I began recording this album, and zero experience playing with a rhythm section (Click track? Click track? We don't need no
steenking click track!), but fortunately there were some talented friends there to make me sound better than I deserved to sound. And the great Peter Ostroushko flew down from Minnesota to play mandolin and fiddle on a few songs, which certainly elevated the proceedings and Victor Sanders' acoustic guitar solo on the title cut was just perfect. Great memories.
