Turner blues There are
also many other bootleg and unauthorized records out
there I have seen in various places. John was
first recorded in the late 1920’s on the Okeh Record label, which went
out of business during the Depression. John was
never paid any royalties on his recordings; just a small one-time
recording fee. After
Folk and Country Blues music became popular again in the 1960’s, many
record companies issued their own records of many of the country bluesmen, but
in most cases none of the monies went to the bluesmen or to their rightful
heirs. Unfortunately,
this is also the case in most of John Hurt’s Recordings |
