The story behind these sessions is typical for bluesmen of Mississippi John Hurt's generation. Hurt made some milestone recordings in the late '20s and then disappeared. He was tracked down by a young blues hound in the early '60s, at the height of the folk/blues boom. In 1964, Hurt ran through his influential repertoire for a series of recordings by the Library of Congress. This first installment of the series is thick with Hurt classics ("Avalon Blues," "Candy Man," "Stackolee"), as well as winningly quirky obscurities like "Let the Mermaids Flirt with Me." Age had altered neither Hurt's gentle, genial vocal style nor his nimble country blues fingerpicking.

Ace Records’4-CD box set Make It Your Sound, Make It Your Scene: Vanguard Records and the 1960s Musical Revolution is a comprehensive chronicle of the Vanguard sound and style, taking in not only folk, but blues, gospel, country and even rock. (The label’s jazz and classical forays, alas, shall have to wait until another day.) As such, it’s a hugely impressive monument to a decade-plus of recordings that influenced a generation of blues-rock and psychedelic performers as the 1960s made way for the 1970s. But it’s even more of a revelation, for good or ill, that the universal themes reflected in these artists’ works still resonate today. This set isn’t for casual, background listening, but instead offers a serious (and seriously entertaining) glimpse back at a heady time for American culture…

John Fogerty, né en Californie en 1945, fut la voix et le son de Creedence Clearwater Revival. De 1968 à 1970, Creedence sort pas moins de six albums dont la plupart sont considérés comme des classiques du rock américain avec leur folk-rock électrique et bluesy. Suite à la séparation du groupe en 1972, Fogerty entame une carrière solo avec un disque de reprises de standards country-folk sous le nom de The Blue Ridge Rangers, mais son premier véritable album éponyme ne sort lui qu'en 1975. Suite à l'échec de la sortie de Hoodoo,en 1976, Fogerty se retire pour mieux revenir en 1985 avec l'acclamé Centerfield. Dès lors il reste présent, quoique rare, livrant tantôt un live axé sur le répertoire de Creedence (Premonition, en 1995), tantôt un disque de duos (Wrote a Song for Everyone, 2013).
