More Info
This live CD is one of several fine compilations of John Hurt's work that remain available from Ace Records. Foremost among these is the 3CD set of “The Complete Studio Recordings” that collects the three albums “Today”, “The Immortal Mississippi John Hurt” and “Last Sessions”, all three of which also remain on catalogue as separate entities. The live set that was recorded at Ohio's Oberlin College in April 1965 works as a fine companion issue to the studio work, as it shows distinctly the easy and friendly rapport that he enjoyed with his audiences.
