Hurt, Mississippi John

American Epic: The Best Of

His moving renditions of 'Frankie' and 'Spike Driver Blues' were included in Harry Smith's 'American Anthology Of Folk Music' in 1952 and were vitally influential on the Greenwich Village folk music revival of the 1960s as well as John Fahey's development of the American Primitive Guitar genre.
