Roots of Blues Mississippi John Hurt „Candy Man Blues

[getarslim]

One of the most syncopated players ever, right up there with Reverend Gary Davis.

He inspired the country music as chuck berry did it with the rock...

Song is about a dope pusher aka candy man..

[lightfox11]

this song is obviously about an awesome lover not a dope pusher

@fensterchunster I think it's about... You know, a guy with a nine inch big candy stick that girls can take to bed... And it don't melt away you know... Just gets better over time.

I read an interview with him once and he said he "just played his guitar like he thought it should sound."

[ukslim2000]

Absolutely inspired guitar arrangement which talented guitar players struggle with to this day. You'll need to set aside about four or five years to learn it properly ...

I just got back from visiting MJH's gravesite in what used to be Avalon, Mississippi. It was a long quest, but worth it.
