Continued Story | Hi How Are You

Gathering two of the albums Daniel Johnston recorded after he moved to Texas from West Virginia, High Wire Music's reissue of The Continued Story/Hi How Are You features digitally-remastered sound, lyrics to all of the songs and a poster of Johnston's inimitable drawings. It also underscores how much his music was growing and changing at this point in his life. Though placing 1985's The Continued Story, which was Johnston's first studio-recorded album, before 1983's homespun Hi How Are You seems like a strange choice at first, it works as a way to gradually get into the strange, mostly charming and sometimes disturbing world that his music occupies. - All Music Guide
