(June 2021) Episode 337 of the “opus project” is MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT. Guitar pickin’ blues, my favorite kind of blues I think. That, along with his gentle voice and calm delivery (not to mention his uncomplicated personal life), make him distinctive if not unique in the genre. He was rediscovered in the 1960s and thus contributed to the folk revival. A benefit is that most of his recordings are of good quality.
Favorite song: Richland Woman Blues
