Mississippi John Hurt: 1928 Sessions (LP)

(Yazoo) 13 tracks

Mississippi John Hurt is one of the most popular and highly regarded blues pioneers. His completely unique style offers listeners a warm, flowing approach with subtle vocals surrounded by beautiful, intricate guitar playing. He is a totally unique artist who has created a style that is in no way derivative of that of other musicians. Certainly the rich tapestry of early American music of all kinds that surrounded him since his birth in rural Mississippi in 1894 contributed to his musical constructions, but the amalgam was all his own. Even today, almost 100 years after they were recorded, these recordings still seem to touch their listeners and give them great listening pleasure. Among his timeless classics presented here are “Frankie”, “Stack O'Lee”, “Candy Man”, “Louis Collins”, “Spike Driver Blues” and “Nobody's Dirty Business”.

Mississippi John Hurt

Mississippi John Hurt, (born July 3, 1893, Teoc, Miss.; died November 2, 1966, Grenada, Miss.) Mississippi John Hurt was a songster whose repertoire included a caressing, gentle version of the blues, handed-down folk songs, light rags, and ballads. Apart from a brief recording career in the late 1920s, Hurt lived nearly all of his life in obscurity until being rediscovered by folk fan Tom Hoskins in 1963. During the three years before his death in 1966, Hurt performed his soft-spoken, finger-picked blues and folk tunes at college coffeehouses and numerous festivals, in-cluding the Newport Folk Festival (1963 to 1965).

A favorite with the early-'60s folk crowd, who were touched by his untroubled voice and equally tranquil guitar picking, Hurt also appeared on national television, performed in the blues docu-mentary This Hour Has Seven Days, and recorded three albums for Vanguard Records. Hurt was raised in Mississippi, where he taught himself how to play guitar. He worked as a farmhand and often performed at local dances and socials. Hurt was discovered by an Okeh Records talent scout in 1928 and sent to Memphis and New York where he recorded thirteen sides, only seven of which were ever released. Hurt returned to Mississippi where he continued to do farm work and occasional performances in the Avalon area until age seventy-one, when Hoskins found him. Hurt was a major influence on the many folk artists who came of age in the early 1960s.

Everyone from Bob Dylan down has paid tribute to Hurt's inventive finger-picking technique and his humble brand of blues.
