With “Candy Man,” Erin Harpe offers an imaginative and upbeat tribute to one of her greatest influences, bluesman Mississippi John Hurt. Harpe’s snappy fingerpicking and intimate vocals are perfectly complemented by Jim Countryman’s soaring, syncopated bass line in this fresh take on Hurt’s classic song. This is the lead single from her upcoming album “LET THE MERMAIDS FLIRT WITH ME: A TRIBUTE TO MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT”, out October 24th, 2025!
