Mississippi John Hurt stands apart from his blues contemporaries as a singular voice in American roots music. His intimate vocal style and intricate, fast-paced fingerpicking set him apart from other artists of the era, blending blues, folk, and ragtime into something entirely his own. 1928 Sessions captures all of the recordings he made for Okeh Records in 1928, representing a foundational moment in American music history.
This collection is considered essential listening for anyone drawn to early acoustic blues, featuring beloved tracks such as "Candy Man Blues," "Frankie," and "Got the Blues, Can't Be Satisfied." The recordings were transferred from original 78 RPM sources, preserving the warmth and character of Hurt's original performances. For fans of pre-war blues and acoustic American music, 1928 Sessions is a timeless document of one of the genre's most distinctive and beloved figures.
