Our Take

Ah, Mississippi John Hurt - the man, the myth, the blues legend. His 1928 Okeh recordings have been compiled into one delightful little package known as "Spike Driver Blues - The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings." And let me tell you, this album is a true blue gem.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a smoky juke joint in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. Hurt's gentle fingerpicking and soulful vocals draw you in like a siren's song, weaving tales of love, loss, and everything in between.

Tracks like "Frankie" and "Ain't No Telling" showcase Hurt's unique blend of folk, blues, and country - a sound that would go on to influence generations of musicians to come. And can we talk about that slide guitar on "Stack O' Lee"? Pure perfection.

But it's not just Hurt's musical prowess that shines through on this album. His heartfelt lyrics and warm storytelling make you feel like you're sitting right beside him, sharing a glass of moonshine and swapping stories.

Overall, "Spike Driver Blues - The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings" is a must-listen for any blues aficionado. Mississippi John Hurt may be gone, but his music lives on in this timeless collection. So sit back, pour yourself a drink, and let the sweet sounds of Hurt's guitar wash over you. Trust me, you won't regret it.
