Must Have Guitar Albums - The Best of Mississippi John Hurt


Mississippi John Hurt born in the 1890's and died in 1966. This album is actually a live album recorded shortly before his death. I first heard this album as a cynical 15 year old who wasnt too impressed by the album cover. The guitar work and laid back singing just knocked me out. A truly amazing guitarist singing songs about the hard life of a working man.
