Skip James was a Delta blues enigma, whose mesmerizing guitar playing and haunting voice produced bluer than blue masterpieces. This beautifully re-mastered Rough Guide collection of his seminal pre-war 1931 recordings for Paramount Records shows why his otherworldly blues cast its spell on many blues greats from Robert Johnson to Eric Clapton.
