John Hurt is the only musician I know of who can, on one guitar, simultaneously play a bassline, chords, and a melody, and sing at the same time! You may think the best guitar player is Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan, but I disagree. They were fast, but Hurt is a true guitar master. "Coffee Blues," "Pallet on Your Floor," "Monday Morning Blues," and "StaggoLee" are fantastic songs, great for summer driving and to sing along with.

This is my favorite feel-good sing-along album. There is not a bad vibe in this guy's being, as far as I can tell. The songs are all great, John's voice is warm and rounded, his guitar picking is a treat, it's just goodness all around and I dig it. There's nobody else out there like this (if there is, please let me know!).

Mississippi John Hurt is raw blues. Only he and his guitar star in most of the songs on Rediscovered and the two of them make for an incredible listening experience. Each song has meat to it-- stories that will hold your attention, make you smile and make you relax. Put this CD on, grab some iced tea, go out on the porch with a book and take it easy.
