Louis Collins
by Mississippi John Hurt
,

Public Domain 4U says: Another grand piece of music from the great Mississippi John Hurt. Hurt was a family man who loved blues, but never pursued music as a career. Yet fame came to him, much to his own surprise, when his early recordings (from 1928!) were discovered by a new generation of blues fans in the 1960s. In his later life Mississippi John Hurt was a huge hit at festivals, with his unforgettable storytelling and humble mastery of blues guitar.
