1	The Complete Studio Recordings (2000) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt 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 ... see all copies from £12.94! new only from £15.10!
2	Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 1-3 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Originally released in 1952 as a quasi-legal set of three double LPs and reissued several times since (with varying cover art), Anthology of American Folk Music could well be the most influential document of the '50s folk revival. Many of the recordings that appeared on it had languished in obscurity for 20 years, and it proved a revelation to a ... see all copies from £49.13! new only from £49.13!
3	Putumayo Presents: Mississippi Blues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £10.73! new only from £10.73!
4	Greatest Folksingers of the '60s (1972) more music like this by Various Artists Not only was Maynard Solomon's Vanguard Records one of the major folk labels of the 60s (having the prescience to pick up Joan Baez early on, and then recording the cream of the singer/songwriters thereafter), but it also had the rights to record and release material from the Newport Folk Festival, giving it access to several artists who were not ... see all copies from £10.15! new only from £11.89!
5	Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings (1996) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's latter-day recordings after his rediscovery have somewhat obscured the importance of these debut sides -- the ones that made his rediscovery an idea initially worth pursuing. Archival recordings such as Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings are the collector's items that made his rep in the first place, and stand ... see all copies from £4.85! new only from £4.85!
6	O Brother: The Story Continues (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £11.95! new only from £13.71!
7	Today! (1966) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Today is Mississippi John Hurt's first and finest studio release since his "rediscovery" on his Avalon farm by folklorist Tom Hoskins in 1963. Eclipsed possibly only by his earlier 1928 Sessions, this album shows a more mature Hurt picking his way through standards and originals after the Depression years and Hurt's fall into obscurity before the ... see all copies from £7.89! new only from £8.70!
8	D.C. Blues: Library of Congress Recordings (2004) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt was easily the most accessible of all the 1920s bluesmen rediscovered still alive and in playing condition in the early 1960s. His easy, gentle singing voice and deft guitar picking abilities were still intact and undiminished, and where some of his hard-living contemporaries suffered from alcoholism, Alzheimer's, or just ... see all copies from £10.92! new only from £10.92!
9	Legends of the Blues, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This CD serves as a perfect introduction to pre-war blues for the novice since it contains fine examples of the music of 20 blues artists: Bessie Smith, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Willie Johnson, Bo Carter, Blind Willie McTell, Lonnie Johnson, Charley Patton, Leroy Carr, Josh White, Leadbelly, Peetie Wheatstraw, Robert ... see all copies from £3.38! new only from £14.87!
10	The Best of Mississippi John Hurt [Vanguard] (1989) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Contrary to what its title would make one believe, this record is not a collection of previously available recordings by Mississippi John Hurt -- rather, it is a complete concert from Oberlin College on April 15, 1965. Regardless, the title is justified, as the concert features Hurt in excellent form doing most of his best known classic songs from ... see all copies from £11.89! new only from £11.89!
11 view cover	The Early Blues Roots of Bob Dylan (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The Blues Roots of Bob Dylan collects Dylan's early heroes of the genre, including Sleepy John Estes, Blind Willie McTell, Mississippi John Hurt, Leadbelly, and Bo Carter. These 20 remastered tracks are an excellent sampling of predominantly country blues from the '30s. While listening to these originals, it becomes obvious that Dylan didn't ... see all copies from £11.49! new only from £11.49!
12 view cover	Avalon Blues (1963) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt This is the first in a multiple-volume series devoted to the Piedmont recordings Hurt made upon his rediscovery in the early '60s. They capture him with his playing and singing still intact, untouched by the world around him, a world that had changed so much since he initially recorded back in the '20s. Many of his best-known tunes are here -- ... see all copies from £4.95! new only from £10.66!
13 view cover	Vanguard Visionaries (2007) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Founded in 1950 by brothers Seymour Solomon and Maynard Solomon just as the LP format was taking hold (it had been introduced to the market two years previously), Vanguard Records took full advantage of the longer playing time afforded and began life as a classical label, moving easily into jazz, then gospel, bluegrass, blues, and folk (as Joan ... see all copies from £4.30! new only from £8.70!
14 view cover	Blues at Newport (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Blues at Newport -- Newport Folk Festival 1959-64 offers fine performances by John Hurt, Skip James, Rev. Gary Davis, Robert Wilkins, and others. Mark A. Humphrey, All Music Guide see all copies from £10.48! new only from £12.19!
15 view cover	Hard Times Come Again No More, Vol. 1 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Another fine Yazoo collection of vintage American recordings of the '20s and '30s. The theme here of first-hand hardship experience makes for some amazing music, whether by white or black artists. The buoyant "Down on Penny's Farm" is beautifully offset by Blind Alfred Reed's baleful complaint "How Can a Poor Man Stand," complete with fragile ... see all copies from £9.90! new only from £12.03!
16 view cover	Rediscovered (1998) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Featuring over 75 minutes and 23 tracks, Rediscovered compiles tracks off Hurt's four Vanguard releases -- Today!, The Immortal Mississippi John Hurt, Last Sessions, and The Best of Mississippi John Hurt. The tracks selected are truly first-rate and give a fine cross-section of Hurt's gently rolling country-blues, including many of his better ... see all copies from £6.64! new only from £11.89!
17 view cover	1928 Sessions (1988) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt The 13 original 1928 recordings of Hurt. Justifiably legendary, with gentle grace and power on these understated vocal and fingerpicking masterpieces. These are the ones to hear, although all Hurt is worth listening to. Michael Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from £9.08! new only from £9.08!
18 view cover	The Great Blues Men (1972) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £10.81! new only from £12.44!
19 view cover	Legend (1997) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt These 14 songs were recorded in 1963 and 1964; material from these sessions appeared briefly on Canada's Rebel label, as well as Piedmont. The mood is late-night informal, although there's little, if anything, in the Hurt catalog that could not be called informal. Hurt's originals are dotted with standards like "See See Rider," "Do Lord Remember ... see all copies from £9.84! new only from £11.74!
20 view cover	The Immortal (1967) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt One of the best albums of country blues ever recorded. The fingerpicking is delicate, the vocals mellow and sweet. Many tunes that remain associated with Hurt are included here in versions that rival his legendary recordings from the late '20s. "Richland Woman Blues," "Stagolee," "The Chicken," and "Since I've Laid My Burden Down" sound as fresh ... see all copies from £8.70! new only from £8.70!
21 view cover	Live [Vanguard] (2002) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt's vocal and guitar style are always easy on the ears. Unlike a number of Delta stylists with their high-pitched voices and slashing slide guitars, Hurt's approach to country blues is immediately accessible. Recorded (for the most part) at Oberlin College in 1965, Live captures Hurt a couple of years after his rediscovery and ... see all copies from £10.19! new only from £12.03!
22 view cover	Tomato Delta Blues Package (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Tomato Delta Blues gathers 16 of the label's best-known performers, including Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Slim, John Lee Hooker, and Brownie McGhee. While a fair amount of the collection isn't technically Delta blues, the songs that are, such as Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup's "That's All Right," Mississippi John Hurt's "Talking Casey," and Johnny Shines' ... see all copies from £3.76! new only from £3.76!
23 view cover	Satisfying Blues (1995) more music like this by Mississippi John Hurt Mississippi John Hurt did a live 21-song set on April 15, 1965, at Oberlin College in Ohio, a scant two years after his rediscovery in 1963, and a year before his death in 1966. Hurt was remarkably consistent as a performer, whether you listen to his famous 1920s Okeh tracks, his rediscovery studio work for Vanguard Records, or the handful of live ... see all copies from £7.58! new only from £8.90!
24 view cover	The Newport Folk Festival 1963: The Evening Concerts, Vol. 1 [16 Tracks] (1964) more music like this by Various Artists It's always fun when a musical document takes the listener back to a specific place and time. The Newport Folk Festival 1963: The Evening Concerts, Vol. 1 travels back to the height of the Great Folk Scare, when thousands of students made the summer pilgrimage to the most prestigious festival in the country. The big names -- Dylan, Baez, Ian & ... see all copies from £8.87! new only from £13.16!
25 view cover	Route 50: Driving New Roots for Fifty Years (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This 50th anniversary sampler ("sampler," not "best-of" or something like that, is the term used on the sleeve) commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the Vanguard label. Vanguard has recorded some important music, particularly in the folk, blues, and folk-rock fields in the 1960s. This is not the best way to get acquainted with its catalog, due ... see all copies from £4.05! new only from £8.74!
