is the second studio album, but third body of work recorded by folk/country blues musician Mississippi John Hurt.

The album spans several genres and styles of music, ranging from traditional blues and folk songs, to country, to African-American spirituals.

In 1952, Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, which contained two tracks by Hurt, was released.

Hoskins convinced him to move to Washington, D.C., where there would be plenty of opportunities to perform to an increasing folk audience.

: It shows ... that all that the great bluesman has lost is years; his voice retains its characteristic Buddha-esque warmth and it is still difficult to believe that there is just one man playing on the seemingly effortless guitar work ... that sound, along with a mellow and heartfelt voice, wizened here by decades, combine to make Today!
