The king of country blues, Mississippi John Hurt first made his
mark in the late 1920s with an influential fingerpicking technique
and easygoing vocal style. Like so many of his contemporaries, he
was "rediscovered" during the folk/blues boom of the early '60s,
and he enjoyed a second phase of his career. The 10 tracks included
on this concise-but-effective sampler come from that latter period.
While these are basically re-recordings of tunes he'd made famous
decades before, they still bear that Hurt mojo, providing nearly as
enticing an introduction to his music as his '20s recordings.
