Query: Live recording with a few flaws- Hurt is a legend

The number of CDs still available almost 45 years after his death speaks to the legendary status that Hurt enjoys. Hurt's accessible playing and smooth, gentle vocals hold up well over time. This is a different side of country blues---a bit folkier. Compare Hurt with Henry Thomas "Texas Worried Blues," recorded in 1927-1928, and you find a very different, evolving kind of music.I think this is an Italian import and there is one flaw in the recording----the low E string sounds muffled at times. While some of the songs seem a little low energy, the guitar playing is flawless. These are satisfying recordings, though, I think, not the best place for someone to start with MS John Hurt. This CD is probably more for serious collectors. I'd start with the 1928 Okeh recordings or Vanguards "The Best of Mississippi John Hurt."
