This review is from: Memorial Anthology (Audio CD)

You get an up close and personal view of Mr. Hurt on Memorial Anthology. Many of the tracks were recorded in a relaxed, small audience venue and convey a warmth missing from other Hurt recordings. Guitar work is mesmerizing as always. There is an interview included in the anthology which gives the listener a greater understanding of Mr. Hurt, his times and his music.
