Skip James
made his original reputation with 17 recordings that he cut during February 1931, when he was 28. Although fluent on both the guitar and (to a lesser extent) the piano,
James
was most notable for his storytelling lyrics, his haunting high-pitched voice, and his distinctive interpretations of
the Delta blues
.
was rediscovered 33 years after his early recordings, in time to appear at the 1964
Newport Folk Festival
. He was quite active during 1964-1966, making the music on this solo CD (his last record) three years before his death in 1969. One can easily hear the influence that
' music had on the then flourishing
folk
music movement, and he still sang his
country blues
with great intensity. ~ Scott Yanow
