Book with online audio. When John Hurt was rediscovered in 1963, he was presented with a rare opportunity to expand and re-write his musical legacy, late in life. And he did just that, recording over seventy songs previously unrecorded by him, adding to the repertoire of thirteen titles he recorded in 1928. In this book, the author focuses on performances John Hurt recorded in between 1963 and his death in 1966, presenting transcriptions of 24 of those performances. The richness and variety of John Hurt’s music is showcased in these songs, with everything from low-down blues in E to raggy numbers in C to waltzes in D. Lyrics for all of the songs are provided, and where verse accompaniments are provided in the transcriptions, indications are given to show where the vocal sits relative to the accompaniment. Audio clips of Mississippi John Hurt playing each transcribed song are available via a download link. Note/tab. 136 pp.
