Recently had a request for this one. Winter Hours came to prominence in the "golden age" of collegiate indie rock, on the heels of REM's success with Murmur. The Hours sonic lineage was mildly derived from Michael Stipe & Co. (check out "We Can Only Win"), but folk and roots-rock inflections endowed a more conventional hue to the bulk of their first proper long player (this one), and their self-titled second album which followed in 1989. Ironically, Leaving Time trails off into the sunset on a markedly bluesy note with a rendition of Buddy Miles "Have You Ever Loved a Woman?"For a taste of Winter Hours in their earliest incarnation, browse over here to encounter a scare set of demos.

Spent a whole summer (and many years thereafter) listening to "Hyacinth Girl". From how much it was played on Boston radio that summer you would have expected it to be a hit and them to be stars.
My wife and I loved that recording. Definitely in our top 25 of most played songs and we were music nuts.
I could never understand the inclusion of that Buddy Miles cover, although they did have a hotshot guitarist!
Thank you.
Spent way too much time looking for this recently. Should have known to just wait for you to put it up. Lesson learned. Thanks again.

Hello,
can you, please, repost the same titled album of 1989?
Thank you very much

I don't recall posting the self-titled album. Are you sure you saw it on this site?
Hello,
In the comments a visitor named "Grapher" has a link for this same titled album of 1989, that is now inactive.
How can I make a contact with him to repost this link?
Thank you very much
