Free Music Review: Great CD by a great artist!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not much for writing reviews, but I can't let this CD continue to go without one. If you're looking for a good place to start your Mississippi John Hurt collection, this is an excellent CD both in the music and quality of the recording. I say "start" because after hearing this CD, you will be buying more. There's just something about this man that brings peace and tranquility to your life when you're listening to his music.
Live Poster
Country blues just doesn't get much better, or any sweeter, than Hurt's performance here. When this concert recording was issued as a two-record set 35 years ago, it bore the misleading title The Best of Mississippi John Hurt. Misleading because it featured the rediscovered 70-something artist reviving material he'd originally recorded more than 35 years earlier. But age did nothing to diminish the sly sensuality of Hurt's songs or the gentle virtuosity of his guitar. The selection includes traditional spirituals, such as "I Shall Not Be Moved" and "Nearer My God to Thee"; signature standards, such as "Candy Man" and "My Creole Belle"; and surprises, such as the instrumental "Spanish Fandango" and the evergreen "You Are My Sunshine." Hurt's return from obscurity ranks with the more rewarding upshots of the 1960s folk revival, and his legacy (since his death in 1966) has continued to influence contemporary folk and blues musicians. In addition to the original recordings from a 1965 concert at Oberlin College, this reissue contains three previously unreleased tracks recorded at the same year's Newport Folk Festival workshop. --Don McLeeseBlues Music CDs
