Description:

These seventeen recordings originate from the summer of 1966, a few scant months before Mississippi John Hurt's death in November of that year, although they were not released by Vanguard Records until 1972. The likely cause was that the company already had his â??Today!â? album released, and what was to become â??The Immortal Mississippi John Hurtâ? album ready to go. Both of these two fine albums are available on this website. -

"Last Sessions" is a remarkable CD release by the legendary blues musician "Mississippi" John Hurt, brought to you by Vanguard. This album captures some of the final recordings of Hurt?s illustrious career, showcasing his gentle fingerpicking guitar style and warm, heartfelt vocals that have influenced generations of musicians. The collection features classic tracks as well as lesser-known gems, offering listeners an intimate glimpse into the artistry of one of America?s most beloved folk-blues artists. Mississippi John Hurt rose to fame in the 1920s with songs like "Avalon Blues," but it was during the 1960s folk revival that he truly gained widespread recognition for his unique blend of blues, gospel, and country influences. Vanguard Records has long been celebrated for its dedication to preserving roots music and supporting iconic artists across genres; their commitment ensures that treasures like "Last Sessions" continue to inspire new audiences.
