Our Take

It is my humble duty to report on the latest offering from the legendary John Hurt - and what a treat it is. "MISSISSIPPI Live" is a masterclass in storytelling through song, a testament to a storied career that has influenced generations of musicians.

From the moment Hurt's weathered voice fills the room, you are transported to the dusty roads of the Mississippi Delta. The raw emotion in his delivery is enough to bring a tear to even the most hardened music critic's eye.

The live setting only enhances the experience, allowing Hurt's genuine warmth and charm to shine through. The audience is rapt from the first chords of "Stack O' Lee Blues" to the haunting closer "Avalon Blues." It's a rare talent that can hold a crowd in the palm of their hand with just a guitar and a voice, and Hurt does it effortlessly.

The way he effortlessly weaves between genres - from blues to folk to country - is a testament to his versatility as a musician. It's a joy to hear him interpret classics like "Stagolee" and "Spike Driver Blues" with his own unique twist.

In a world of auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured hits, John Hurt is a beacon of authenticity. "MISSISSIPPI Live" is a reminder of the power of music to transcend time and touch the soul. Do yourself a favour and give it a listen - you won't be disappointed.
