random notes
From: EMDEBE@village.uunet.be - October 8, 1998
There is also a "hidden" 14th track on the album:
"Greensleeves" (03:08). The track was intentionally left off the liner
notes. It was originally recorded for The Windham Hill sampler "Carols of
Christmas", but Hedges surreptitiously included it on "Oracle" as
well so hard-core fans wouldn't feel compelled to buy the compilation just for
his contribution.
He called himself a "violent acoustic" artist; he is considered one of
the most innovative and acclaimed solo guitarists of his era.
"Oracle" signified a return to acoustic performance; the record was
the last to be issued during Hedges' own lifetime - on December 2, 1997, his
body was discovered near the wreckage of a car accident just outside of his
native Mendocino, California (he was 43 at the time of his death).
