"Mississippi" John Smith Hurt (March 8, 1892 ..[1].., Teoc, Carroll County, Mississippi - November 2, 1966, Grenada, Mississippi) was an influential blues singer and guitarist.
Raised in Avalon, Mississippi, he learned to play guitar at age 9. He spent much of his youth playing old time music for friends and dances, earning a living as a farm hand into the 1920s. In 1923 he often partnered with the fiddle player Willie Narmour (Carroll County Blues) as a substitute for his regular partner Shell Smith. When Narmour got a chance to record for OKeh Records in reward for winning first place in a 1928 fiddle contest, Narmour recommended John Hurt to OKeh Records producer Tommy Rockwell. After auditioning "Monday Morning Blues" at his home, he took part in two recording sessions, in Memphis and New York City (See Discography below). The "Mississippi" tag was added by OKeh as a sales gimmick. After the commercial failure of the resulting disc and OKeh records going out of business during the depression, Hurt returned to Avalon and obscurity working as a sharecropper and playing local parties and dances.
In 1963, however, a folk musicologist named Tom Hoskins, inspired by the recordings, was able to locate ..[2].. John Hurt near Avalon, Mississippi. In fact, in an early recording, Hurt sang of "Avalon, my home". With his guitar playing skills still intact, Hoskins encouraged Hurt to move to Washington, DC and begin performing on a wider stage. Whereas his first releases had coincided with the Great Depression, his new career could hardly have been better timed. A stellar performance at the 1963 Newport Folk Festival saw his star rise amongst the new "folk revival" audience, and before his death in 1966 he played extensively in colleges, concert halls, coffee houses and even the Johnny Carson Tonight Show, as well as recording three further albums for Vanguard Records. John Hurt's influence spans several music genres including blues, country, bluegrass, folk and contemporary rock and roll. A soft-spoken man, his nature was reflected in the work, which remained a mellow mix of country, blues and old time music to the end.

That is such bullcrap they took these videos off. I wish I could I buy them or at least get them on MP3.....I love all Mr. Hurt's Releases, some of my fave songs are talking casey, Payday, Boys your Welcome, Hear I Am, Lord Take me, and alot more. the only bootleg i got though is a concert of him playing live in I think 63, at Otterbien college in Ohio, I dont know how to spell it, and that bootleg is a treasure, so again, its a damn shame they take these videos down. Is this CHINA???? somewhere they must be people concious trying to make it so we don't see greatness on demand, what us spaceage slaves seem to have become, I gotta work alla time for Nothin but love and they gotta go fuck with me and take your prize down
He waved at all the people On the train & later, when He saw they didn’t wave back He started singing songs to Himself & it went that way The whole day and He couldn’t remember having A better time in his life.
