Avalon Blues: A Tribute to the Music of Mississippi John Hurt
: :No musician ever applied a gentler touch to songs of murder, sex, and salvation than Mississippi John Hurt.

Produced by Peter Case (who teams with Dave Alvin on 'Monday Morning Blues'), the album's renewal of classic Hurt extends from the deadpan double entendres of 'Candy Man' delivered by Steve Earle and son Justin to Taj Mahal's trademark lilt on 'My Creole Belle' ...
