Summary: KILLING FLOOR BLUES
Comment: WHAT TO ME WAS DISAPPOINTING ABOUT THIS CD IS THE FACT THAT THESE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL SKIP JAMES RECORDINGS MADE IN THE 1920'S AND 1930'S WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A COUPLE OF SONGS. HAVING SAID THAT, I AM GLAD THAT I HAVE THESE RECORDINGS. AND I LOVE THE COVER ART BY R. CRUMB. SKIP JAMES WAS NOT YOUR AVERAGE SOUNDING DELTA BLUESMAN, HE HAD A SOUND ALL HIS OWN.

Summary: Skip James - Spooky Blues
Comment: I think I first heard the name Skip James associated with John Martyn's "I'd Rather Be the Devil". Then I saw that he'd penned an old Cream hit "I'm so Glad". I finally got around to picking up some of Skip's stuff. Man, this is something else. Nevermind Robert Johnson's Hellhound... Me thinks the Hellhound actually caught up with Skip James. The guitar playing is superb and that voice... downright spooky at times!
There are many great tunes here, I think I like Cherry Ball blues the best. The only complaint I have is that the 5 piano pieces are all "front-loaded" onto the disk. Make no mistake, those tracks are very good (remind me of Thelonius Monk's playing) but the real fun starts at track 6 and runs all the way to track 16.
Also note the cover artwork by R. Crumb famous for his Mr Natural comic series in the 60's.
Shout has put together a great package here, the sound is great, the bio is informative, and the artwork is memorable.
If you want to hear a great, original sounding Delta bluesman then this is definitely a disc you want to buy. Start clicking!

Summary: Nice overview of Skip James' rediscovery period
Comment: Shout Factory continues its excellent "Heroes of the Blues" series with one of the most haunting voices in music - that of Bentonia, Mississippi's Skip James. The collection concentrates mainly on his reimergence in the mid-1960s, with the exception of the two opening tracks taken from his 1931 Paramount recording session. The bulk of the release is made up of recordings James made for Biograph in 1964, which were recorded just shortly after his rediscovery earlier that year. Equally impressive and distinctive on piano as he was on guitar, the set also highlights his unique piano style as demonstrated on "22-20 Blues" and "How Long Blues." Although not listed, those looking for a recording of his most popular piece, "The Devil Got My Woman," can find a stirring six-minute 1964 version on track 6, listed mistakenly as "How Long Blues," (which actually appears as track 5 but titled "61 Highway.") With an interest in Skip James at an all-time high thanks in part to James' high-profile inclusion in the Martin Scorsese PBS blues series, and to a lesser extent, the strong role his music played in the 2001 film "Ghost World," this set happily brings some of his fine postwar recordings to a whole new generation just discovering his genius.

Summary: error on the printed playlist on the back cover
Comment: Beautifully cleaned up tracks. On the copy I got the back cover doesn't list "Devil Got My Woman" . Instead a different track 5 called "61 Highway". Luckly the actual cd does have the playlist listed here with "Devil got My woman".

Summary: Superb overview of Skip's work
Comment: This CD is a fantastic overview of the work of Skip James, covering both his guitar work and his equally fine piano blues. It focuses on his 1960s comeback, after years of neglect. After he played at the Newport Folk Festival in 1964, he rerecorded many of his classics for a variety of folk and blues labels, and it is from these pristine-sounding sessions that this CD is compiles. Not only are the sound and performances first-rate, but the liner notes are detailed and informative. This is an excellent entry point to Skip's career for neophytes, and for die-hard blues fans it is a wonderful survey of his post-discovery period.
