When John Hurt was rediscovered in 1963, he was presented with a very rare
opportunity to expand and re-write his musical legacy, late in life. And he
did just that, recording over seventy songs previously unrecorded by him,
adding to the repertoire of thirteen titles he had recorded in 1928. In The
Guitar of Mississippi John Hurt - The Rediscovery Years, John Miller focuses
on performances that John Hurt recorded in between 1963 and his death in
1966, presenting transcriptions of 24 of those performances. The richness and
variety of John Hurts music is showcased in these songs, with everything from
low-down blues in E to raggy numbers in C to waltzes in D featured.
Transcriptions are provided in TAB and standard notation, lyrics for all of
the songs are provided, and where verse accompaniments are provided in the
transcriptions, indications are given to show where the vocal sits relative
to the accompaniment. Audio clips of Mississippi John Hurt playing each
transcribed song are available via a download link. If youre a fan of
Mississippi John Hurts music, The Guitar of Mississippi John Hurt - The
Rediscovery Years will give you the most complete collection of his later
performances available anywhere.
