Mississippi John Hurt - The Rough Guide to Mississippi John Hurt

With his beautifully refined guitar fingerpicking style and gentle voice, Mississippi John Hurt had a truly unique interpretation of the blues which was rooted in the bygone songster and ragtime traditions. Leaving behind a legacy of great songs, these beautifully remastered 1928 recordings show why he influenced many great musicians during the folk-revival including Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk and Taj Mahal.
