Mississippi John Hurt ‎– "Satisfied...... Live"

Mississippi John Hurt was an early country blues legend whose warm, amiable sound and longevity also made him a major figure during the '60s blues revival.

This concert has a hand-recorded sound about it, but nonetheless Hurt's playing and singing are well-captured and up to his usual high standards. There's no information as to where and when this was recorded, and there's not much to recommend "Satisfied" over other live Hurt records (if you can even find it), but it's still John Hurt, and even this mediocre record is proof that he never played a bad note.


Tracklist:
1 Candy Man
2 My Creole Belle
3 Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor
4 Shake That Thing
5 I'm Satisfied
6 Salty Dog
7 Nobody's Business But Mine
8 The Angels Laid Him Away
9 Casey Jones (Talkin' Casey)
10 Baby, What's Wrong With You?
11 Lonesome Blues

(320 kbps, cover art included)

Recorded by Bob Scherl on his home tape recorder with the mike that came with it, sitting right in front of Hurt to capture the blues that he loved. Later worked for VAnguard and used his "field recording" made at Oberlin (we lived in Cleveland at the time) to make this record. What a beautiful record.
