3 Albums by The Hi Hopes
The Hi Hopes, like alot of "outsider" music, always brings up a dilemma with me. Do I like them more because of who they are, or what they sound like? I think I'd have to say that I definitely like them more for what they sound like, because I'd enjoy these renditions just the same even if they were performed by members of MENSA. Heck, I'd probably like them more. Not quite sure what that means.
The previous edition of 365 Days included a song by the Hi Hopes, but I thought it'd be worthwhile to make the 3 albums I have available in their entirety. Visit the Hi Hopes at: www.hopeu.com/hihopes/
