Description
Perhaps the greatest exponent of country blues finger style guitar, Mississippi John Hurt stands as one of the most important blues musicians of the 20th century, with a career that began in the 1920?s and by the 1940?s was nearly forgotten until he was rediscovered in 1963 with his amazing music prowess still intact. He inspired a new generation of folk musicians and his importance cannot be overstated. Presented here are recordings from around the period of his rediscovery in the mid 1960?s, a few short years before his death, and contains renditions of tunes that are most identified with this iconoclastic guitar genius - including ?Candy Man,÷ ?Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor,÷ ?My Creole Belle,÷ ?Casey Jones÷ and more. All selections have been newly re-mastered.
