Mississippi John Hurt Artist Snapshot:

The warm, amiable sound of Mississippi John Hurt is one of the earliest and most powerful influences in country blues. The organic ease of his singing belied an innovative level of craft along with an astounding fingerpicking guitar technique. Born in 1893, Hurt began performing in the early 1900s, and made some seminal recordings for Okeh in 1928. Subsequently, he traded in the musician's life for farm work until his rediscovery in the early '60s, whereupon he made a series of excellent new recordings and achieved great renown for his rural folk/country style.

Product Notes

This inappropriately titled album is actually a concert recording from a performance at Oberlin College in 1965. Regardless, Hurt's rich, gentle voice and relaxed, flowing guitar lines could soothe the stormiest Monday. Among the hymns and traditional songs heard here are "I Shall Not Be Moved," "Nearer My God to Thee," "Since I've Laid This Burden Down," and "You Are My Sunshine." Complementing those are Hurt folk/blues staples, notably "Monday Morning Blues," "Coffee Blues," and "C.C. Rider." The blues patriarch's warmth and geniality come through here with such emotional intimacy that you can't help being deeply moved. --Genevieve Williams
