June 2024 ❤

Класс!!!

A mix of immortals. 💖✌️

Wasn't he in Blues Brothers? The fella arguing about who wrote Boom Boom?

2024 and I’m sharing this masterpiece

This is a blessing every time

Things u should kno broski

How this is balm for my sad soul

I wish I was cool

remember what the "lonesome valley" means -- see 23rd Psalm; also the journey from birth to death

Love this song! The one and only John Hurt.

Love Piedmont blues tradition.

Dig It! Miigwich...

Just a man a guitar and the truth.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful performance

A piece of history. Lucky for us he was re-discovered in the 1960's and recorded on film. Appeared on Johnny Carson!

What a great rendition ....epic !

Brought tears to my eyes

Trying to learn this and seeing how damn hard the melody is. Keeping the thumb working while plucking your bottom fingers slightly off beat is so weird. It follows the strangest music theory but works so well

I'm sorry, but this guy is just such a legend

MAN ALIVE ! This guys came from another planet !

So beautiful and restful

Hope I'm not walkin it yet...

Well...youve got to walk...that lonesome valley.

YES And AMEN 🙏!!!

I do

Shame on the white radio station owners who would not play ,"race" music.

Nice! Good stuff! ❤

Update: The world is ready for the lonesome Valley. Sons and Daughters lined up....your opinion so strong...you'd send your children to defend it. A mass of earthlings need to rise up....and say No,

There’s a rendition of this in o brother where art thou

Love his groovin shoulder dance while playing.

King of the thumb

❤keep blues alive teach your kids xxx

I’m 71 and haven’t see 2 of my kids for over 20 years, I’ve visited that lonesome valley many times, BUT GOD who is rich in mercy has brought me to the mountain top to get a glimpse of Him! Praise Jesus, praise His holy name!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

2023

when I was in high school in Chicago way, way back in 1961, and just learning to play guitar, I found the old Alan Lomax folkways recording of John Hurt. I was fascinated by the sounds and learned many of his tunes. A few years later I moved to Greenwich Village in New York City to begin my life as a folk musician. I saw Mississippi John play live many times at the old Gaslight Cafe and local folk festivals of the time. He was a sweet and gentle man. I still can play his rendition of John Henry. A fine picking tune.
