📚 ABOUT THE ALBUM:

Avalon Blues is a timeless snapshot of American roots music, capturing the heartfelt vocals and intricate fingerpicking of Mississippi John Hurt in his earliest studio sessions. Recorded in 1928 for the Okeh label, these tracks were considered lost treasures for decades until Hurt's music resurfaced during the 1960s folk revival. His gentle, narrative style and spiritual sensibility come through in every note—from the dark tale of Stack O’ Lee to the sweet charm of Candy Man Blues.

This definitive collection presents all 13 of Hurt’s 1928 Okeh recordings, meticulously remastered from original sources and preserved in glorious mono. A cornerstone of early blues history and an essential addition to any serious collection.
