Mississippi John Hurt

Mississippi John Hurt (1893-1966) - John Hurt recorded many of his best-known songs in 1928 and then returned to his home in Avalon, Mississippi where he remained unknown until rediscovered during the folk revival of the early 1960s. His style is simple, yet full of creative runs and picking patterns. His songs are a good starting place for those wanting to learn the alternating bass style.
