Mississippi John Hurt I'm satisfied

this guy is the coolest nice voice and damn good guitarist.

merci pour ces belles photos

You've heard about people who you never hear anything bad about? That's Miss. John Hurt. Everything I've ever heard about him is that he was a sweet, gentle soul and his music reflects that. Wonderful man!

This is lovely, as gentle as a lullaby.
Thanks for posting.

He seemed like such a gentle soul. Miss him and I didn't even know him.

I agree. If we could all be just a little bit as nice as him.

hypnotic and sublime

If you listen, in alot of his songs he lets his guitar playing finish the lyrical phrasing. I don't really think he forgets the words.

At 1.08 there is a piece missing in the vocal, who took out the piece about dropping his pants ? ? ?

It's not about dropping pants. In other recordings he sings the lyric -- "I'm a todle-o shaker from my navel on down." When playing for "kids" -- his white, college audiences, so he left out certain "dirty" words. "Todle-o" (sometimes spelled "toodle-o" in other songs by other performers) is an African word for buttocks. I think that not only was Hurt sensitive to his audiences, he might have been afraid of trouble. Remember, Emmett Till had recently been killed for whistling at a white woman.
