Description
BLUES Mississippi John Hurt 78rpm Okeh 8560 Nobody's Dirty Business/Frankie. Race Record. Numerous surface marks and scratches. Plays with some surface noise. Still a great historical collector's item and quite scarce.<p>John Smith Hurt (possibly March 3, 1892 – November 2, 1966), better known as Mississippi John Hurt, was an American country blues singer and guitarist. Raised in Avalon, Mississippi, Hurt taught himself to play the guitar around the age of nine. He worked as a sharecropper and began playing at dances and parties, singing to a melodious fingerpicked accompaniment. His first recordings, made for Okeh Records in 1928, were commercial failures, and he continued to work as a farmer.
