As much a folk musician as a bluesman, Hurt included traditional and devotional music as well as blues in his oeuvre. His wide-ranging repertoire here is highlighted by "Farther Along" and "Oh Mary, Don't You Weep." Accompanied only by his guitar, Hurt is a compelling, engaging performer who eschews gimmickry. The ease with which he plays creates a peacefulness at the center of this music that's undeniably appealing. --Genevieve Williams

TX. for this great post!
Mississippi John Hurt and Mance Lipscomb are my two favorite songsters; their music transcended the limitations that the race records industry sought to impose upon black musicians and artists of their era. I am grateful that you have given exposure to both and re-posted their recordings from time to time. I am biased but in my opinion they are giants as significant as other much more widely known musicians of the blues and folk eras in this country and their music still sounds refreshingly new to me. Thanks a lot for all you do.
For me, this music is a wonderful gift. Glad you like it too. Best wishes.
