Mississippi John Hurt,
"1928 Sessions"
Yazoo 1065; Ordering Information

"The playing and tunes here are gentle and mel-
odic, making Hurt perhaps the most accessible
of all country bluesmen." - Guitar World

With his warm, gentle vocals and rhythmic guitar lines, Mississippi John Hurt's recordings represent a fascinating counterpoint to what is expected of Mississippi blues. His repertoire is a mixture of narrative ballads, traditional songs and blues.
