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 ...

The Immortal (1967) more music like this

by Mississippi John Hurt

One of the best albums of country blues ever recorded. The fingerpicking is delicate, the vocals mellow and sweet. Many tunes that remain associated with Hurt are included here in versions that rival his legendary recordings from the late '20s. "Richland Woman Blues," "Stagolee," "The Chicken," and "Since I've Laid My Burden Down" sound as fresh ...

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 ...

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 -- ...

Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this

by Jim Kweskin

The Jim Kweskin installment of the Vanguard Visionaries series features most of the fun-loving folksinger's most well-known singles, including "Jug Band Music" and "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me," but at ten songs with no liner notes it pales in comparison to 1990's 24-track Greatest Hits collection. James Christopher Monger, All Music ...

Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this

by Mississippi John Hurt

Founded in 1950 by brothers Seymour Solomon and Maynard Solomon just as the LP format was taking hold (it had been introduced to the market two years previously), Vanguard Records took full advantage of the longer playing time afforded and began life as a classical label, moving easily into jazz, then gospel, bluegrass, blues, and folk (as Joan ...

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.

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 ...
