Description
Mississippi John Hurt had a refined fingerpicking style that set him apart from other blues musicians. The influence of gospel on his work and his gentle voice reflect the humility and gratitude he felt towards his large following that befuddled him. He is more of an underground and obscure figure in blues, because he led the life of a simple man, and didn’t fall down the same sad roads that his fellow blues musicians did. The purity of his musicianship is a rare gift to listeners.
