Mississippi John Hurt

Nashville based bluegrass band, Tennessee Warblers, will release their version of “Louis Collins” on all streaming platforms to commemorate Mississippi John Hurt’s birthday on March 8th. Mississippi John Hurt’s mournfully beautiful murder ballad, “Louis Collins,” has long been a John Beck (Vocals & Mandolin) staple in the band's set.

Multi-award-winning blues singer/guitarist Rory Block will release the fourth CD in her “Mentor Series” on June 4 with Avalon on Stony Plain Records, a tribute to blues master Mississippi John Hurt. Previous Rory Block salutes have been to Rev.
