Today! is Mississippi John Hurt’s third album, originally released in 1966. The album encompasses some of the first commercial recordings since his comeback from a 35-year career hiatus. It was added to The Library of Congress National Recording Registry in 2009. According to Rolling Stone, Hurt is “the rare Delta blues legend who bowls you over with grace, generosity, and warmth.” (AAA) lacquers cut from the original tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP complete with a tip-on jacket.
