The Best of Mississippi John Hurt (Vanguard)

Hearing him end this live concert with his version of "You Are my Sunshine" reminded me of the first time I heard John Hurt. He was performing on, of all places, The Tonight Show. Iirc, it was in 1963. As I say, I had never heard him (or of him) before, but I knew that he was someone special. Johnny Carson, on the other hand, seemed to have no idea what to make of him.
