This is Mississippi John Hurt's beautiful rendition of 'You Got To Walk That Lonesome Valley.' This is a traditional spiritual which dates back to the early 19th century, also known variously as 'Jesus Walked That Lonesome Valley,' 'Lonesome Valley.' Performed and recorded by a wide range of performers, from blues and gospel to The Carter Family and Elvis Presley.
Blind Willie McTell also recorded a stunning variation on this song called, 'I Got to The Cross The River Jordan.' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUmsVAogL4I
One of the Masters!
