Incredible Sessions, July 7 2001
This review is from: 1963-1964 Legend (Audio CD)
I own most of Mississippi John Hurt's works on vinyl and CD, but this is the one I keep coming back to. These master tapes were recorded in the 60's, during Hurt's comeback. The original masters were badly damaged in a studio fire and nearly lost. Through modern technology they were cleaned up and saved...although you can hear a definite warping on some of the songs. However, the pure beauty of Hurt's guitar work and gentle singing style make this disc a muct have for any Mississippi John Hurt fan. Hurt plays and sings most of his classic songs here, and with a laid back style that makes this disc a real pleasure to listen to anytime, anywhere.
