Skip James – Devil Got My Woman (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Rediscovered at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival after three decades of obscurity, Skip James cast a long shadow over the blues revival and beyond. Eric Clapton and Cream brought "I'm So Glad" to a generation of rock listeners who then traced it back to the source, and what they found was something stranger and more haunting than anything the British Invasion had prepared them for. James remains one of the most singular voices the Delta ever produced.
With his eerie, keening vocals and minor-tuned guitar, no other bluesman sounds quite like Skip James. This is perfectly encapsulated on his 1968 Vanguard Records solo release, Devil Got My Woman. The Blues Foundation hails the title track as “the quintessential Skip James song.” Released in partnership with Acoustic Sounds, the album has been (AAA) remastered from the original tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed on 180-gram vinyl. A tip-on jacket completes the package.
