Last Sessions
It was recorded at a Manhattan hotel in February and July 1966 shortly before Hurt’s death that year, and released in 1972 by Vanguard Records.
The record was regarded by Robert Christgau as “one of those nearness-of-death albums”, along with Mississippi John Hurt’s Last Sessions (1972), Bob Dylan’s Time Out of Mind (1997), Warren Zevon’s The Wind (2003), and Johnny Cash’s American VI: Ain’t No Grave (2010).
