Skip James - Today (VANGUARD)
[Vanguard VSD 79219 LPx1]
£24.80

RE-MASTERING by: STEVE HOFFMAN & KEVIN GRAY --------------- Tracklisting Side 1: Hard Time Killin’ Floor Blues / Crow Jane / Washington D.C. Hospital Center Blues / Special Rider Blues / Drunken Spree/ Cherryball Side 2: How Long Blues/ All Night Long / Cypress Grove Blues/ Look Down the Road / My Gal/ I'm So Glad Personnel: Skip James on guitar and piano. Clear, crisp modern recordings of the spooky, mysterious style of Blues Skip James developed early last century. His guitar playing is perfect. His high haunting voice floats and then holds and makes the hair on the back of your neck crawl. His piano playing is unpredictable yet concise. His unique style, which recorded earlier in his life (1930) sounded almost archaic (positively so), now sounds strangely modern due to the increased fidelity of the magnetic tape used for the recording. An unusual and original talent, Skip James was one of the best. Jackback.
