John Smith Hurt, better known as Mississippi John Hurt (July 3, 1893 or
March 8, 1892 — November 2, 1966) was an influential country blues
singer and guitarist. He sang in a loud whisper, to a melodious
finger-picked guitar accompaniment. The "Mississippi" tag was added by
Okeh Records as a sales gimmick
