Additional The Complete Studio Recordings Mississippi John Hurt Information
|
Gentle, graceful, subtle, sweet--these aren't descriptions generally applied to the blues, but they offer a sense of Mississippi John Hurt's uniqueness and enduring legacy. Rediscovered during the 1960s folk boom after last recording in the late 1920s, Hurt cut the three albums compiled here when he was in his early 70s. His conversational phrasing sounds as natural as breathing, while his ragtime-tinged fingerpicking on acoustic guitar reveals more complexity the closer you listen. Beyond blues classics like "Candy Man" (the sly sensualist wasn't referring to lollipops), Hurt's range encompasses everything from folkish narratives ("Talking Casey," "Spike Driver Blues") to Southern spirituals ("Nearer My God to Thee," "Farther Along"). Though Hurt died in 1966, shortly after the last of these sessions, the music still sounds so fresh, you can almost hear the twinkle in his eye. --Don McLeese

After hearing one of his songs on pandora, I had to have this cd. No other words could describe it. I first heard Mississippi John Hurt while I had Pandora going while I was messing around on the computer. This is the one I chose, and it is simply amazing. Just something about the music puts such a beautiful feeling inside you. There is a review on here that says the first time you hear his music, somthing inside you changes. There could not be anything more from the truth.
would order from them again the package arrived promptly and was just what i ordered.
No leser show, no smoke, no big talk, but MUSIC.Music that comes from his personality and soul. Mississippi John Hurt is the best blues performer of all times.
