Product Details
Recorded in two sessions for Okeh Records in 1928, these thirteen tracks represent one of the most quietly influential documents in American music. Hurt's fingerpicking style, rooted in the hill country around Avalon, Mississippi, sounded unlike anything else coming out of the Delta tradition, and when these recordings helped researchers track him down in 1963, his rediscovery became a defining moment of the folk revival.
These legendary country blues recordings have been beautifully remastered: Stack 'o Lee Blues; Frankie; Candy Man Blues, and 10 more.
