Mississippi John Hurt taught himself to play the guitar around the age of nine. He worked as a sharecropper and began playing at dances and parties, singing to a melodious fingerpicked accompaniment. His first recordings, made for Okeh Records in 1928, were commercial failures, and he continued to work as a farmer.

The Library of Congress recorded John in 1964. This helped further the American folk music revival, which led to the rediscovery of many other bluesmen of Hurt's era. Hurt performed on the university and coffeehouse concert circuit with other Delta blues musicians who were brought out of retirement. He also recorded several albums for Vanguard Records.

John Smith Hurt  died on November 2, 1966 at the age of 73.

The challenge for May the 4th be with you is a record to take with you to outer space. I immediately thought of the records that HAVE been blasted into space, the Voyager golden records. As a lifelong country blues fan, I’ve always been very gratified by the fact that Blind Willie Johnson was included on this record meant to convey the sounds of planet Earth to other civilizations. I don’t have any Blind Willie Johnson on vinyl, but I would certainly nominate Skip James for the same honor. There is something universally stirring about the haunting, moaning sound of this record, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it moved extraterrestrials the same way. Also, Yazoo records? Essential. Unlivewithoutable.

Charley Patton was considered by many to be the "Father of the Delta Blues", he created an enduring body of American music and inspired most Delta blues musicians. He lived most of his life in the Mississippi Delta and in 1897 his family moved to the Dockery Plantation, a cotton farm and sawmill near Ruleville, Mississippi. It was there that he developed his musical style, influenced by Henry Sloan, who had a new, unusual style of playing music, which is now considered an early form of the blues.

Charley performed at Dockery and nearby plantations and began an association with Willie Brown. Tommy Johnson, Fiddlin' Joe Martin, Robert Johnson, and Chester Burnett (who went on to gain fame in Chicago as Howlin' Wolf) also lived and performed in the area, and Patton served as a mentor to these younger performers. Patton was a "jack-of all-trades bluesman", who played "deep blues, white hillbilly songs, nineteenth-century ballads, and other varieties of black and white country dance music.

He was popular across the southern United States and performed annually in Chicago. Unlike most blues musicians of his time he played scheduled engagements at plantations and taverns. He gained popularity for his showmanship, sometimes playing with the guitar down on his knees, behind his head, or behind his back. Patton was a small man, about 5 feet 5 inches tall but his gravelly voice was reputed to have been loud enough to carry 500 yards without amplification; a singing style which particularly influenced Howlin' Wolf. In May, 2021, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame posthumously inducted Patton into the 2021 class as an Early Influence.

Born Charlie Patton c. April 1891 in Hinds County, Mississippi and died on April 28, 1934 at the Heathman Plantation, Sunflower County, Mississippi at the age of 43.
