Harmonizin': Walk Lonesome

A little Mississippi John Hurt:


In case, like me, you didn't know, the guy cuts an album in 1928, goes back to farming in Mississippi for the next 35 years, then gets rediscovered during the 60s folk revival, gets three years of fame and recognition, cuts some new albums, then passes away at 74. Plucks out notes like drops of rain. Sings like a ray of sun cutting through the clouds. I think he's my new favorite blues singer.

Very lengthy, very detailed 1963 interview with the man right here. Includes some bits about Frank and Jesse James.
