More Info:
Country Blues singer/guitarist Mississippi John Hurt was known for his uniquely dextrous fingerpicking technique, his gentle, half-whispered vocals, and his soft-spoken songs inspired by Gospel and Folk music. The inclusion of traditional songs in his repertoire and lack of then-modern Blues influences on his style, establish Hurt as a firm link between the 19th and 20th centuries. Despite cutting a handful of memorable 78s for OKeh Records in 1928, Hurt remained largely forgotten until being rediscovered in the early 1960s, which led to him being eagerly embraced by a new generation of Blues aficionados and musicians. This compilation features the thirteen surviving sides he recorded for OKeh in 1928, augmented by eleven live tracks recorded in the early 60s, following his re-emergence. Included are his signature songs, 'Frankie', 'Louis Collins', 'Nobody's Dirty Business', 'Avalon Blues', etc.
