Avalon Blues

Avalon Blues (1963) more music like this

by Mississippi John Hurt

This is the first in a multiple-volume series devoted to the Piedmont recordings Hurt made upon his rediscovery in the early '60s. They capture him with his playing and singing still intact, untouched by the world around him, a world that had changed so much since he initially recorded back in the '20s. Many of his best-known tunes are here -- ...

The Best of Mississippi John Hurt [Aim] (1998) more music like this

by Mississippi John Hurt

Mississippi John Hurt did a live 21-song set on April 15, 1965, at Oberlin College in Ohio, a scant two years after his rediscovery in 1963, and a year before his death in 1966. Hurt was remarkably consistent as a performer, whether you listen to his famous 1920s Okeh tracks, his rediscovery studio work for Vanguard Records, or the handful of live ...

Counting the Ways

Counting the Ways (1996) more music like this

by Edward Gerhard

Using odd tunings, high-strung and slack-key Hawaiian lap steel set-ups, along with a refined elegance and emotion not often found in guitar solo albums of 2000, Ed Gerhard takes listeners on a lilting and moving journey through some great classics done in new and softly daring ways. Along the path, Gerhard calls on a number of old friends to help ...

Hanapepe Dream (2003) more music like this

by Taj Mahal & the Hula Blues

Recorded in the year 2000 in Bremen and in Hawaii, Hanapepe Dream is ethnomusicologist, guitarist, and composer Taj Mahal's own gumbo of Caribbean, Polynesian, African, and American folk roots styles done up in the glorious dress of "song," for anyone who has ears to hear, feet to shuffle, and an ass to shake.

Songs from Home (2002) more music like this

by Doc Watson

After stints on Folkways and Vanguard Records in the '60s and early '70s, Doc Watson contracted with the independent Poppy label, which earned a distribution deal with United Artists (UA) in the wake of the success of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's 1972 UA album Will the Circle Be Unbroken, on which Watson appeared.

Live [Vanguard]

Live [Vanguard] (2002) more music like this

by Mississippi John Hurt

Mississippi John Hurt's vocal and guitar style are always easy on the ears. Unlike a number of Delta stylists with their high-pitched voices and slashing slide guitars, Hurt's approach to country blues is immediately accessible. Recorded (for the most part) at Oberlin College in 1965, Live captures Hurt a couple of years after his rediscovery and ...

Lonesome Road

Lonesome Road (1977) more music like this

by Doc & Merle Watson

Doc does the country blues as well as anything else he does and this record is filled with some fine performances. From "Stone Wall" (on which Doc sings harmony with himself) to the hot picking on songs like "Minglewood Blues" and "I Ain't Going Honky Tonkin' Anymore" this is quite a good record.

Relax Your Mind (1966) more music like this

by Jim Kweskin

Released in 1966, Relax Your Mind finds Jim Kweskin taking a break from his jug band for a mellow solo effort. He's joined by harp player Mel Lyman and washtub bassist Fritz Richmond for what amounts to a stripped-down jug band on a dozen tracks. Two of the tracks, "I Got Mine" and a long version of "Buffalo Skinners," were recorded live at Club ...

Avalon Blues: A Tribute to the Music of Mississippi John Hurt (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

If you assemble a bunch of above-average artists to pay tribute to a major artist, is the result an above-average tribute record? Not always, but in this case it is. Organized and executive-produced by Peter Case, this contains covers of the Mississippi bluesman's songs by more than a dozen medium-big and very-big names from the folk and rock ...

The Best of Mississippi John Hurt [Vanguard] (1989) more music like this

by Mississippi John Hurt

Contrary to what its title would make one believe, this record is not a collection of previously available recordings by Mississippi John Hurt -- rather, it is a complete concert from Oberlin College on April 15, 1965. Regardless, the title is justified, as the concert features Hurt in excellent form doing most of his best known classic songs from ...

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 ...

The Grammar Bell and the All Fall Down (1999) more music like this

by Manishevitz

Manishevitz is the brainchild of singer/guitarist Adam Busch, formerly of the Curious Digit. Unlike his previous band's brooding and dark output, the songs of Manishevitz serve as a cathartic and bluesy release of the band's creative energies. Throughout Grammar Bell and the All Fall Down, Busch is backed by guitarist Via Nuon, bassist Bryan Hoffa ...
