Watertower is an album by the American musician Michael Hurley, released in 1988.[2][3] Hurley would rerecord four of its songs for 1995's Wolfways.[4][5] For many years the only way to purchase the album was as a vinyl release at Hurley's concerts; Hurley would also dub copies onto cassette for a fee.[6][7]
Eugene Chadbourne encouraged Hurley to record for the Fundamental record label.[8] "I Paint a Design" is about Hurley's visual art endeavors.[9] The album's songs eschewed both the polish of Nashville country music and the finesse of bluegrass music.[10]
