I thought for just a moment there that I was listening to Leon Redbone. 
Anyone else get that?

This was really released in 1963? The recording sounds pristine.

Saw Leon Russell perform this song and thought it was his until I read the comments.

Classic Delta blues guitar, and very skilled, that Mississippi John Hurt was.

Nice!
