Music reviews of The Complete Early Recordings of Skip James
Music Review: Great, amazing and unexpected vibrant pure blues!
Rating: 4 Stars
Great, amazing and unexpected vibrant pure blues! This is the telling of a hard life coming from guitar and singed words of anger! This is real blues! Like it or not. The words that sing of evil and hardship come from real life!
Description of The Complete Early Recordings of Skip James
With an unmistakable falsetto delivery, Skip James created some of history's eeriest blues records. His blues sounds dark and mysterious, using odd tunings, structures, and rhythms, and exploring gloomy lyrical themes. Unlike other bluesmen of the day, James's music was personal and bleak, played for his own emotional release and not for purposes of entertainment. "Devil Got My Woman," "Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues," "Hard Luck Child," and "Special Rider Blues" convey sorrow and misery like few others can. Uptempo numbers such as the classic "I'm So Glad" and "Drunken Spree," which resembles the hillbilly traditional "Late Last Night," showcase his forceful guitar picking while rags "Little Cow and Calf" and the jumpy "How Long 'Buck'" feature his unique piano work. --Marc GreilsamerGeneral CDs
