My first contact with MJH was when I traded a Buddy Holly greatest hits album for M.John's "Last Sessions" LP, recorded in 1966 with Patrick Sky. The thing I like about him, is how much at peace he seemed to be with himself. Contrast that with his contemporary and fellow Mississippian Son House, who seemed forever tortured with a conflict between his blues and his religion. MJH could play a gospel number one minute and one of his gentle blues the next and it all sounded just right.
