Recommended Recordings

As one of Our Recommendations and Recommended Recordings, we recommend The Complete Studio Recordings, a by Mississippi John Hurt, on Vanguard Records.

This 3 CD set contains all the Mississippi John Hurt recordings on Vanguard Records, made in 1966. These recordings are also available as the three individual Mississippi John Hurt studio albums on Vanguard Records [Today, The Immortal Mississippi John Hurt and Last Sessions], but we recommend this 3 CD release as a way of getting all these important recordings in one set.
