Album Review
This is the first in a multiple-volume series devoted to the Piedmont recordings Hurt made upon his rediscovery in the early '60s. They capture him with his playing and singing still intact, untouched by the world around him, a world that had changed so much since he initially recorded back in the '20s. Many of his best-known tunes are here — "Candy Man Blues," "Salty Dog," "Spike Driver Blues," "Louis Collins," "Spanish Fandango," and the title track — and although Hurt was to re-record them for other labels, these versions are as fine as any. There's really no one else in the blues with the gentle wistfulness of John Hurt, and this collection makes a wonderful addition to anyone's blues or folk music collection.

A True Story Teller
by dealawMississippi John Hurt tells you a story. He takes you there through syncopated sounds between singing and picking. Magically woven into our ears, he transforms every listener to a different place and a better time. These long forgotten moments now remembered for just a few minutes before we have to come back to the today. John moved on, but we can still sit and listen, tapping our feet to the rhythm of an indelible sound of time immemorial full of love and life.
