.....without him, music as we know it would be dramatically different. From country, to blues, to folk, to jazz, and especially modern acoustic styles, he is the seed. He is an unsung king and this country should honor him on this day. If you play guitar, most any style, say thank you.

John Smith Hurt, better known as Mississippi John Hurt (July 3, 1893 or March 8, 1892 — November 2, 1966) was an American country blues singer and guitarist.

Hurt attempted further negotiations to record again, but after Okeh Records going out of business during the Great Depression, Hurt returned to Avalon and obscurity, working as a sharecropper and playing local parties and dances.

Hurt's influence spanned several music genres including blues, country, bluegrass, folk and contemporary rock and roll. A soft-spoken man, his nature was reflected in the work, which consisted of a mellow mix of country, blues and old time music.

Hurt died of a heart attack in Grenada, Mississippi.

Mississippi John Hurt. Merle Travis gets credit for that style of picking, Chet Atkins made it popular, but Hurt invented it.
