Torrent description
Mississippi John Hurt fans have long had to satisfy themselves with the relatively few available recordings of the folk-blues master. Hurt recorded in the late '20s, then disappeared from public view until the folk revival of the '60s. Thus, a few 78s and a handful of albums from the '60s constituted his entire legacy. That all are wonderful only left fans clamoring for more. Along with MEMORIAL ANTHOLOGY, a two-disc home recording of a 1964 concert, 1997's LEGEND helps to satisfy this need.
According to the liner notes, LEGEND is "the product of a late-night recording session circa 1963-64." The atmosphere is informal, with Hurt expanding on his more structured studio versions of familiar numbers. Best of all is the seven-minute version of "Stack-O-Lee," which here includes a spoken introduction explaining Stack's motivations (Hurt describes him as "a desperator"). Because of less-than-perfect sound quality and some quirks in performance, LEGEND is not the place to start your Hurt collection. But it will doubtless find a welcome, well-worn spot in the collections of those who have already exhausted the rest of Hurt's wonderful recorded body of work.Award Winner
