3.0 out of 5 stars Necessary Release?, January 21, 2002

This has been my introduction to Mississippi JH, and for that matter, the only recording of his I've heard. I can only imagine, however, that there are better CDs of this man out there. Oodles of reverb soak every song, which gets irritating at first. Also, the packaging is not particularly attractive. Otherwise, the music and performances are great. I just don't know that you need this partiuclar CD.

This is one of those CDs that I listen to often. You can tell that he is older by the change of his voice from some of his earlier recordings. His fingerstyle picking and smooth singing style is very easy on the ears. I have several of John Hurt's CDs because at the time I purchased this one I didn't know that a complete set was available. I am still glad that I bought it. I actually like the cover picture also.
