Description

The ghostly sound of Skip James' voice is as haunting as the mist over the Mississippi Delta, and it is these recordings-dating from 1930 and long hard-to-find in this country-that are the source of his legend. This 18-track album marks the first appearance of such classics as Devil Got My Woman; I'm So Glad; 32-20 Blues; Cypress Grove Blues, and many more-absolutely essential.
