Review

John Hurt's playful country blues was first heard in the late 1920s, when he recorded a handful of poorly selling sides for Okeh Records. It wasn't until his rediscovery during the 1960s folk revival that his remarkable talent was fully appreciated. Hurt's rediscovery only lasted a few years--he died in 1966--but his legacy, preserved on several albums recorded for Vanguard during that period, is indeed daunting. Hurt's intricate fingerpicking style--evidenced here on popular pieces like "Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor," "Richland Women Blues," "Salty Dog Blues," and "Candy Man"--went on to influence a generation of urban folk and blues artists. His music remains a sweet reminder of the pre-depression-era ragtime blues of which he was a humble and subtle master. --Billy Altman
