MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT
Early country blues legend whose warm, amiable sound and longevity
also made him a major figure during the '60s blues revival.
No blues singer ever presented a more gentle, genial image than Mississippi John Hurt.
A guitarist with an extraordinarily lyrical and refined fingerpicking style, he also sang with a
warmth unique in the field of blues, and the gospel influence in his music gave it a depth and
reflective quality unusual in the field. Coupled with the sheer gratitude and amazement that
he felt over having found a mass audience so late in life, and playing concerts in front of
thousands of people -- for fees that seemed astronomical to a man who had always made
music a sideline to his life as a farm laborer -- these qualities make
Hurt's recordings into a very special listening experience

grading
RECORD EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
One of the best albums of country blues ever recorded.
The fingerpicking is delicate, the vocals mellow and sweet.
Many tunes that remain associated with Hurt are included here in versions that
rival his legendary recordings from the late '20s. "Richland Woman Blues,"
"Stagolee," "The Chicken," and "Since I've Laid My Burden Down" sound as fresh
as ever in these '60s versions. This album leaves little doubt as
to why Hurt was so beloved after his rediscovery...(AllMusic)
