Description

Michael Hedges exerpt from the song Torched.

Torched is the recording guitarist Michael Hedges was working on at the time of his fatal automobile accident in 1997. It was released posthumously in 1999 on the Windham Hill label. All compositions by Michael Hedges.

Torched consists of recordings that guitarist Michael Hedges was working on at the time of his fatal automobile accident in December 1997. A collection of demos, this 1999 Windham Hill release has all the intimacy listeners might expect from such a recording without the haphazard performances, as Hedges possessed uncommon technique and emotional connection with every note he played.

Listen free to Michael Hedges – Torched (Torched, Spring Buds and more). Torched was assembled by Hedges' longtime musical associate Hilleary Burgess from tracks Hedges had been working on at the time of his 1997 death in an automobile accident, and was released in 1999. Hedges is in singer/songwriter mode here, and as one might expect the songs sound like they were in varied states of completion.

Michael Hedges: Torched by AAJ Staff, published on December 1, 2000. Of all of Michael’s fine releases this one, Torched, reaches me in the deepest recesses of my being. I must confess I have sang along, tears in my eyes, sensing the deep loss of Michael now being gone, tragically killed in late 1997 in a car accident. What waste, what loss, and so final. But Hedges’ voice and soul lives on in this last release, nearly ready to be finally polished yet too late - it is released anyway, with raw edges, with Hedges as is - a superb diamond in the rough.
