Hi Derek,
I would like to have some of Mississippi John Hurt's music in my collection....is that a good one to start with or would one be better off going for some thing like this....

I have that 3 CD set and it’s very good, a really sympatric approach to recording this very gentle man.

If you can get a hold of some of his Live recordings you’ll get great insight into the mans amazing gentle way of capturing an audience.

Try these;
I know this comes in two volumes on vinyl.



And

Legend - once you get an appreciation of his music it becomes a must have.




Once you get into his music you will hunt out more, and even more.

Thanks Derek....I will definitely check them out.

Heres a real treat for you all... and even better its free!!

A special program of Muddy Waters, starting with a solo acoustic set from Newport on 16 July 1969. I can report that the SQ is actually pretty good. Its also great to hear Muddy actually speak between songs, starting off with a mention of Son House.


This is actually pretty special stuff. Theres also a Muddy video at:

And a twitter derived set of covers of muddy's stuff;

But that Newport set is pretty good stuff.
