Last Sessions (1972) more music like this

by Mississippi John Hurt

Recorded in New York during February and July of 1966, the 17 songs on this collection represent Mississippi John Hurt's final studio efforts. It is astonishing that this man, in the final months of his life, could do 17 songs that were the equal of anything he had done at his first sessions 45 years earlier, his playing (supported on some tracks ...

D.C. Blues: Library of Congress Recordings (2004) more music like this

by Mississippi John Hurt

Mississippi John Hurt was easily the most accessible of all the 1920s bluesmen rediscovered still alive and in playing condition in the early 1960s. His easy, gentle singing voice and deft guitar picking abilities were still intact and undiminished, and where some of his hard-living contemporaries suffered from alcoholism, Alzheimer's, or just ...

The Complete Studio Recordings (2000) more music like this

by Mississippi John Hurt

Although not as consistently magnificent as Hurt's 1928 recordings, the performances the artist recorded for Vanguard in the mid 1960's would be the zenith of many blues artist's entire careers. Songs like the opening "Payday" and "Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home" rank with any folk-blues song ever recorded. This fantastic set collects the three ...

Shaker (2002) more music like this

by David Johansen & The Harry Smiths

When one looks back at David Johansen's body of work, it's not difficult to get the feeling you're watching an actor who has slipped in and out of a number of character roles over the years; there was the trashy glam punk libertine of his New York Dolls days, the swaggering hard rock belter on his '70s and '80s solo albums, the over-the-top ...

Legend (1997) more music like this

by Mississippi John Hurt

These 14 songs were recorded in 1963 and 1964; material from these sessions appeared briefly on Canada's Rebel label, as well as Piedmont. The mood is late-night informal, although there's little, if anything, in the Hurt catalog that could not be called informal. Hurt's originals are dotted with standards like "See See Rider," "Do Lord Remember ...

Memorial Anthology (1993) more music like this

by Mississippi John Hurt

Mississippi John Hurt's mid-'60s performances were usually distinctive and sometimes staggering. His guitar work was crisp, attractive and frequently brilliant, although his vocals were the real hook. Hurt's narratives, storytelling ability and general communicative powers were at their peak on this two-CD set, which has languished in a vault for ...

Scrapomatic (2003) more music like this

by Scrapomatic

Scrapomatic, the debut disc from guitarist/songwriter Paul Olsen and Derek Trucks Band vocalist Mike Mattison, contains a dozen tracks worth of lovely soul-blues pop. The disc starts extremely strongly with two excellent cuts -- a lively original titled "Moanin'" and a reading of Mississippi John Hurt's "Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me" -- that are ...
