Thanks, Ken:

Might try it out. I was very excdited a month or so ago to find out that Hurts first album on Piedmont after he was rediscovered has been re-issued on Rounder. To my ears, the clarity on that album was the best I've heard. I'm glad to hear that there is more available now.

I have a double CD of Hurt "live," but don't listen to it often. The've livened up the sound a little more than I like, and it detracts from my enjoyment.

Mississippi John was the man (see my favorite singer thread.)
