Album Description Mississippi John Hurt, who first recorded in 1928, was "rediscovered" in the 1960s, when he became a folk festival favorite. He was a bluesman, but his gentle singing and intricate finger-picked guitar made him wholly different from other Mississippi players from his era. The 1963 recordings on this disc are culled from his first late-career sessions, and include many of his best-loved songs. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsRe-issue Hamish Kirk | Saudi Arabia | 05/22/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is merely a re-issue - at a new, higher price - of the original 1928 Okeh recordings. I wrongly assumed that this was some new find. It is not.
For those not familiar with these recordings made before Mississippi John Hurt disappeared into the obscurity of sharecropping in Mississippi for 40 years, they are worth the price." |
