Worried Blues
Editorial Reviews
<"b0000002sl7580"> Amazon.com essential recording
Together with 1963's Avalon Blues (as opposed to the similarly titled compendium of 1928 recordings), Worried Blues represents the best of Mississippi John Hurt's later work, following his rediscovery in the early 1960s. As much a folk musician as a bluesman, Hurt included traditional and devotional music as well as blues in his oeuvre. His wide-ranging repertoire here is highlighted by "Farther Along" and "Oh Mary, Don't You Weep." Accompanied only by his guitar, Hurt is a compelling, engaging performer who eschews gimmickry. The ease with which he plays creates a peacefulness at the center of this music that's undeniably appealing. --Genevieve Williams
