Folk blues in the exact style of Mississippi John Hurt
Bio / Background
"Mississippi" John Hurt made his own music, his own way. That's why his 1928 recordings are unique among pre-war Mississippi country blues artists, and why his later records still sound fresh and original. His sound was shaped almost entirely by his humble personality and a self-taught guitar style unaffected by modern influences. John Hurt was deeply connected to the rural land and the people he came from, his songs often sounding like they came up out of the wide-open fields and swamps where he lived and worked most of his life. He was authentic, down to his bones.
I've wanted to make a record of Mississippi John Hurt songs since I began listening to him in earnest in the mid-1970s. Some of his original Vanguard LPs were still in print then, and like many young fingerpickers I was mesmerized by the gentle, rocking groove of his acoustic guitar playing and the whispery, ancient depths of his voice.
