[coolhellcat18]

What a nice sounding man.

[AI3JeWelz]

When was this?

[DrThundercritic]

Reminds me it was Engineer.

A soulful sweet sound, i love MJH.

@Delila310 This isn't the original. The original is by Leadbelly. MJH does a good version of it tho. I think I like it better than the leadbelly version!

@515742617000027 in fact goodnite irene is an old song and no one can exactly tell who create it

[MrFlatroofer]

Beautiful.

Had ik de songs gezongen door Mississippi John Hurt eerder leren kennen dan was ik hem zeker naar een optreden van hem gegaan. Mooie gitaarpicks en voor mij een warme en ontroerende stem. I still miss the "chickensong"

Oh, I get it! A "tribute" to Hurricane Irene on the east coast last week-end.

HAHA Just when I thought Willie Nelson did the best. John Hurt is the MANNNN!!

[Delila310]

@Kurtiz76 The origionals are always the best

[tommyau2006]

@Kurtiz76 Van Morrison does a pretty good cover of this song. Even better in concert live with Jerry Lee Lewis

[ThatContainerGuy]

@Kurtiz76 John Hurt is always THE MAN

[acadx]

@Kurtiz76 i agree with you this version is fantastic

Charley Patton was great, but why put his picture on a Mississippi John Hurt video?

[arikat1]

@kowalski37 i just liked the song very much and googled the name of the singer for pics. :)

[imabookie3]

@arikat1 Yes but that isn't the right picture

[arikat1]

@imabookie3 i guess i couldnt make the difference at the time. Call it ignorance...

[Udo280751]

[heartlz555]

Charley Patton at the beginning?

[phishhead11]

[darkcannibal]
