Catalog #:
MK 317LP
"Born in Bentonia, Mississippi in 1902, Skip James began recording for Paramount in Grafton, WI, in the 1930s after showcasing his unmistakable talent in a series of auditions in Jackson, Mississippi. Particularly interesting was his three finger picking technique, his high pitched voice and the rural blues tales that he put in music for a sub genre of blues that was later called the 'Bentonia school.' This LP includes some of his rarest early tunes from those lost 78 RPMs from the Grafton period."

1994 release of newly remastered original recordings. "Certainly the most haunting and eerie sounding of all bluesmen, Skip James had a rare ability to draw upon his inner self for musical expression and an unmatched facility as an arranger to create a truly unique body of work. His playing on guitar and piano is unparalleled for rhythmic unpredictability and emotional effect."

YAZ 2075CD
"Skip James is one of the 'Mount Rushmore' historical blues figures, ranking right at the very top of the blues pyramid with the likes of Charlie Patton. His guitar playing is the most innovative and complex of all the early blues greats and his unique piano stylings have also fascinated fans for over seven decades. His singing, too, is totally unique in its high eerie delivery and haunting effect. Skip's complete total early recordings (18 selections) are presented here in dramatically improved new fidelity that offer even more testimony to his greatness. A bonus 4 tracks by fellow Mississippian blues legend Son House are also included in stunning and exciting new fidelity."
