Mississippi John Hurt (1893–1966) was a gentle giant of American folk and blues whose soft voice and intricate fingerpicking left a lasting mark on music history. Born in Teoc, Mississippi, and raised in Avalon, Hurt taught himself guitar and developed a unique, melodic style that blended blues, country, and gospel. He made a few recordings in 1928 for Okeh Records, but they sold poorly during the Depression, and he returned to farming life. Decades later, in 1963, folk enthusiasts rediscovered his music, launching a celebrated second career. Hurt charmed audiences at coffeehouses, festivals, and on national television with his warmth and humility. His songs—like “Avalon Blues,” “Candy Man,” and “Spike Driver Blues”—inspired generations of guitarists and remain cornerstones of the American folk revival. Mississippi John Hurt’s gentle touch and spirit continue to resonate long after his passing in 1966.
