THE COMPLETE STUDIO RECORDINGS contains TODAY! (1966)/THE IMMORTAL MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT (1967)/LAST SESSIONS (1966).
Solo performer: Mississippi John Hurt (vocals, guitar).
Producer: Patrick Sky.
Reissue producer: Tom Vickers.
Recorded at Manhattan Towers Hotel, New York, New York in February 1966. Includes liner notes by John Milward.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Although not as consistently magnificent as Hurt's 1928 recordings, the performances the artist recorded for Vanguard in the mid 1960's would be the zenith of many blues artist's entire careers. Songs like the opening "Payday" and "Poor Boy, Long Ways From Home" rank with any folk-blues song ever recorded. This fantastic set collects the three albums Vanguard released in Hurt's lifetime and as such is undeniably the package to go for to acquire these later gems. ~ Thomas Ward
