This month, I passed it up in favor of two discs from similar genres/time periods: American Primitive, Vol. I -- Raw Pre-War Gospel (1926 -- 1936) and Angola Prison Spirituals (both of which are great; n.1). But I'm grabbing the John Hurt disc as soon as my downloads refresh. ______________________________________________ (n.1) Indeed, assessing the cream of the crop from those related genres (old time-y music (terrible term), Appalachian music, Delta blues) would make for a dynamite 17 Dots post.

I don't think I can explain it, but it just hit me in a weird way. From Hurt's pureness — and near innocence (just knowing his history) — straight over to Dylan in his shades and all he represented at that time. Just... a weird dichotomy. I love this stuff.
