Music reviews of 1928 Sessions
Music Review: Great Delta Blues Player
Rating: 4 Stars
I am a long time fan of Mississippi John Hurt. His music is legend. I bought this CD to add to my blues collection. It has great songs on it. The only drawback, and this depends on the listener I guess, is that there is so much static it is difficult to catch the entire nuance of the music. This probably can't be avoided since the recordings are from his original sessions. I would like to think that one day someone will be able to filter out the static without loosing the music. It is almost like listening to those large thick old records on the turntable. All in all I am glad I purchased it.
Description of 1928 Sessions
Mississippi John Hurt recorded 13 country-blues songs for the Okeh Electric Records company in 1928. Then he vanished. Actually, he never left his hometown of Avalon, Mississippi. He simply put the guitar down. It was the Great Depression, times were tough, money was scarce, and he needed to work. Nearly 30 years later, a blues enthusiast tracked him down and took him back to Washington, D.C. Suddenly, Mississippi John's musical career resumed as quickly as it had been halted. These first songs cut in the late 1920s, however, represent Hurt in his youthful prime; the 1928 recordings represent the greatest presentation of his melancholy voice and hypnotic guitar playing. --Percy KeeganGeneral CDs
