| | Skip James Blues From The Delta CD Skip James Discography of CDs
Skip James's 1930s recordings were among the finest in all of Delta blues, but VANGUARD SESSIONS: BLUES FROM THE DELTA contains performances from the second phase of James's career, when he was "rediscovered" by folk revivalists in the '60s, along with so many of his peers. Nevertheless, this era of his work holds a magic all its own. If anything, his haunting vocal style sounds even spookier, moving even more often into an otherworldly falsetto, and he brings a whole new feeling to songs he'd recorded decades earlier, like "I'm So Glad" and "Devil Got My Woman." Even though the aged bluesman's technical facility may not have been what it once was, he more than made up for it in raw, visceral feeling, and this is an excellent sampling of his latter-day work.

I began writing in high-school when my ideas seemed too persistent to ignore. In the morning I wrote my dreams, in the day I wrote my observations, in the night I wrote more.My love of singing began before guitar came into my life. Summer of 1993 I worked in Denali National Park. I sang where ever I walked because the park officials warned residents and visitors to be loud so bears had fair warning. When I wasn\'t working as a house keeper in the Denali Village Hotel I was exploring the park. I sang things I knew at first but ...

Dear Listener,This CD is a collection of demo recordings in preparation of a studio album. I had hoped to get into a studio before the year was out to release a well-polished CD. But unfortunately I found myself detained due to a hectic performance schedule and life’s daily demands. The good news, however, is that there is great energy on here. I personally like my music a little rough around the edges, similar to my debut CD. This CD contains recordings from my home studio both live and multi-tracked, as ...
