The title of this double-LP set, later reissued on one CD, is slightly deceptive--although many of these songs were initially recorded by Mississippi John Hurt in 1928 during his brief flirtation with Okeh Records, this is not a compilation. Instead, it's a concert Hurt recorded at Ohio's Oberlin College in April of 1965, shortly after blues historian Tom Hoskins had rediscovered the bluesman in his north Mississippi hometown at the age of 71 and persuaded him to return to the music that he had abandoned 35 years earlier. Hurt sings and plays these 21 songs so effortlessly, and with the exact same genial good humor of his earlier recordings, that listening to THE BEST OF MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT next to a collection of his '20s sessions like AVALON BLUES: THE COMPLETE 1928 OKEH RECORDINGS, it's easy to imagine that no time at all had passed between them. Hurt died just over a year after this concert, so THE BEST OF MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT stands as a beautiful summation of his quiet genius.

Best Of Mississippi John Hurt album
$9.69
Due to the vast history of folk music around the globe, calling this album The Definitive Folk Collection seems quite goofy and even a bit self-righteous. However, Highpoint Records did put together a nice 17-track set of contemporary British folk culled from the remarkable Topic Records label. Topic might best be considered the British equivalent to Smithsonian Folkways, but where Smithsonian's contemporary catalog often falls short of the mark, Topic's is a fulfilling and haunting listen that ...

Best Of Mississippi John Hurt CD music
$7.69 
Orange County's neo-punk rockers Bullets and Octane make the most of their leap to a major label on In the Mouth of the Young: they take full advantage of their increased budget by hiring Helmet's Page Hamilton as their producer and then using a topless Suicide Girl wannabe nursing an infant for their front cover art. Hamilton is to catch a listener's ear, the girl is to catch the attention of potential listeners scanning the record bins or thumbnail jpegs on the Web, and both moves work. The Helmet guitarist gives these Social Distortion-styled punkers an exacting, razor-sharp sound that might give a little ...
| | David Helfand At The Edge Of The Cornish Sea CD (2002)
Best Of Mississippi John Hurt music CDs
$18.99
David Helfand composes and performs original and traditional music on Celtic Harp, mandocello, guitar, keyboards and percussion. Many of David's compositions were born through improvisation and drawn on the inspiration found in the power of music from many wondrous cultures. Since 2000, David has augmented his repertoire of original and traditional compositions with Israeli and Middle Eastern influenced music and has composed many pieces based upon his journeys to Israel and Britain. Since 1997, David has recorded and released three solo CDs. Over the last twenty years, aside from performing as a solo artist, David's musical adventures have led him into many powerful collaborations with extraordinary musicians. From 1981 to 1986 he co-founded an acoustic duo called the Impressionistic Folk Duet and the quartet, Amethyst in Ithaca, New York. After his journey to Oregon in 1987, he co-founded an ensemble called Mythic Sky that blended the worlds of acoustic and electronic music that ranged from powerful sweeping soundscapes to delicate atmospherics. In 1995, Mythic Sky released their first self titled CD. In 1997, David released his debut solo CD "Callings from the Quiet Grove" and in the summer of 2000, released his second solo CD, "Beyond the Sea of Reeds." The creation of "Beyond the Sea of Reeds" was inspired by his journey to Israel and the magical city of Jerusalem. David showcased and performed pieces from this CD at the 2000 International Society of Folk Harpers and Craftsmen's conference in Monterey, California and will perform many of these pieces at the 2003 International Harp Conference in Bloomington, Indiana. David's latest CD, "At the Edge of the Cornish Sea" released in 2002, is based upon his first journey to Britain and was inspired by his travels to the castle ruins of Tintagel in Cornwall, Glastonbury, Stonehenge, and London. David composes for and records with many different instruments and musicians. He is accompanied ...

Visit http://www.oddcupl.biz and discover their secret! These boys put the PFunk in Progressive politics with their mix of comic political incorrectness, sexed-up content, ridiculous circumstances, and infectious hook writing. They might just be the first POP group to be grown outside the Major Label/Major Radio bubble. "Why does pop music have to go thru the standard channels of a major label and chr radio?", Asks front-man BassyBob, a veteran of the pop-music bizz with more credits than Moses. Throw a dart at many of the R and B and HIP HOP hits of the 80's and 90's , chances are you'll find a BASSY BOB mix. Records by the Fugees, Biggie, Craig ...
