Title: Mississippi John Hurt – The Best Of

Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1971 / Blues / Country Blues / Avalon, Mississippi

Matrix #: VSD-19

Condition: VG++ (VZ)

Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle Hurt recorded brilliantly in 1928, then disappeared from the industry for decades, returning later in life after being rediscovered while still living a modest rural life in Mississippi.
2. Media Narrative This kind of compilation helped turn Hurt from a nearly lost prewar blues figure into a canonized elder statesman during the 1960s folk revival.
3. Studio Lore A lot of Hurts later reputation rests on how gentle and precise he sounded live, which made these retrospective sets feel less like archival product and more like proof of a timeless style.
