Happy Easter everyone! Today I play one of Mississippi John Hurt's gospel songs, "Since I Laid My Burdens Down". It is great song, that will likely sound familiar. It also gives us insight into his unique blues style - watch to the end and I'll explain how.

"Them that don't know him don't like him and them that do sometimes don't know how to take him, he ain't wrong he's just different and his pride won't let him do the things to make you think he's right" - Ed Bruce (via Waylon and WIllie)
