Mississippi John Hurt
John Smith Hurt, better known as Mississippi John Hurt, is an American country singer and guitarist. Growing up in Avalon, Mississippi, Hurt learned to play the guitar around the age of nine. He worked as a sharer and started performing in dances and parties, singing along to a melodious accompaniment. His first recordings, made for Okeh Records in 1928, failed commercially and he went on to work as a farmer. Dick Spottswood and Tom Hoskins, a passionate blues enthusiast, reached out to Hurt in 1963 and persuaded him to move to Washington, D. More blues music from Hurt's time. Hurt has performed in college and cafe concerts alongside other retired blues musicians from Delta. He also recorded several albums for Vanguard Records. Hurt returned to Mississippi, where he died, in Grenada, a year later.
