Easy Rider mentioned the Yazoo issue of MJH's 1928 Okeh recordings. These were also reissued by Sony in the Roots N'Blues series under the title 'Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings' Columbia/Legacy CK 64986 in much better sound. Indispensible! The comment about sound applies also with the respective Sony and Yazoo Blind Willie Johnson reissues. Yazoo does a great job, but Sony is owner of the masters. There is also a MJH CD with the same title, 'Avalon Blues', issued by Arhoolie [CD 1081]. These were 1963 recordings in Maryland by Peter Silitch and Sandy Fisher with production by Dick Spottswood - lovely album. It's possibly from the same recording session mentioned by Sandy Paton above.
