An accidental find: "Avalon Blues - a Tribute to Mississippi John Hurt". I had never listened to John Hurt, but the artists on this tribute got my attention.
Various top artists on it. Made me curious to listen to some original Mississippi John Hurt ,too, so got his "Rediscovered" CD, and am now a John Hurt fan.
Also listening to "Going Driftless - a Tribute to Greg Brown" (and you'll hear Ferron on this-or was she on "Avalon Blues"? Will have to check. ). Checked out some Greg Brown CDs next, and was very impressed by his voice and his songwriting talents. (Greg Brown is husband to Iris Dement, who does a stunning song "The Train that Carried Jimmy Rogers Home" on the Going Driftless tribute CD).
