Devil Got My Woman by Skip James 

Rock n roll

Heavy-metal (the origins)

the heart and soul of America and rock music.

I'd say Tommy Johnson is close but yeah probably gotta give it to skip

@@itsallaroundyou7085 Howlin and Lightnin as well.

Fantástico

​@@drunkdrywaller7840 Mr. Smokestack Lighting definitely has a unique voice but not like Skip James.

I agree most unique. Skip James! The Canned Heat band use that vocal style

sad but so.

I beleive Bukka White was also there

@James Schultz *Est.1982 badass is getting like really trite.

Skip James!! Rick who¿?😑🤨love me some skippy James!!!💚💙🙄☠

Mississippi John hurt too

Also they all got paid for being there 😂

great comment, inkarnate thanks

I'd give anything to have seen this legend. ❤

Best condition possible to play the blues to be honest

@@Pabloignacioalvarez the Album called She Lyin one of his first if you can find it is really good. He was fresh out the hospital and in extreme pain throughout and it really comes out in his voice in playing.

@@Pabloignacioalvarez Specifically that version of devil got my woman is my fav. You have to hear it man. i can't find it on the internet but I have it downloaded. the verison is on the album called "She Lyin'" Track 9. dude was in so much pain.

Imagine being in the room with those guys with Skip and the Wolf.

+Joarimus Papim Friend , I agree with you!

Oh hell yes my brother!

Joarimus Papim Skip James was real ,the moon landings werent

No. These were flesh n blood humans. Not silly cartoon fantasy.

@@keving9233 Appreciate the fact that people of this generation can appreciate this piece of art and history while being able to connect it to the contemporary art of today that they know and love.

More like ss4

​@@spliffsforbreakfastPlaying pretty fast-and-loose with the term "art," aren't you?

Super Saiyan musicians they were. Same as flesh n blood humans. There’s truth in it; cannot be without it, and it was and still is.

People play 40s or 50s blues like wolf and that mojo workin black dude. I really want to get down with some true delta blues

Yeah, this is a looong ways away from the typical blues you hear. That man was just incredibly talented. And hidden away for 30 years, such a shame...

Speaking of Howling Wolf they filmed and recorded him also during this same session. I recognized the room immediately. Check it out.

Yes, I love those distinctive diminished or minor 6th chords. So ghostly! I read that he got into piano first, before guitar, and I think he learned them there.

Extraordinário

The blues ain't evil

I concur his voice is so different from everyone else to me. It's like Billie Holiday, well not like her but just stands out like her.

play it in summer to cool down. Seriously. It's like a cool wind blowing in from far away, cutting through humidity and hot night air.

TV

Pretty sure that's Rev. Pearly Brown standing behind James. I don't think John Hurt was at Newport in '66.

Buried in Bala Cynwyd, PA. I'm in Malvern right now and he isn't here.

@@djblackjackshellac They are buried next to each other in Merion Memorial Park, PA. For those who are feeling pedantic www.findagrave.com/memorial/7936559/skip-james

i've read lorenzo was hurt's daughter, sister and niece. niece is from a biography of hurt so i am going with that.

Son House is next to Wolf.

Hello dear,how are you doing

You are right on the dime. Skip James was deeply influenced by Skip James

@@yehudafine1015 *Alan wilson

Hello dear,how are you

Only left cause he needed a piss... I would piss myself not to miss a sec 😁

Where is stated by Wolf otherwise?

charliedontsurf70 Oh wow, I saw that movie years ago and I'd completely forgotten that link! Rewatched again today - Daniel Clowes knows where it's at!

charliedontsurf70 I have never seen it but what a moving description

This is so much better than the original recording, his maturity shows through his skill here

Hello dear ,how are you doing today

Anybody who knows anything about music would agree, even if they don't like the blues.

I think Charley Patton was the first after the non-recorded blues, think that even son house had patton as a mentor and Son House is the influence of all the bluesmen here

@@cngrinder9423 hello pentatonic scale :)

@@cngrinder9423 Most of what you wrote wasn't close. House began playing blues in about 1926, long after Skip was. House was influenced early on by locals Willie Wilson, James McCoy, and Rube Lacey and Lemon Jefferson's records. He also knew Patton was one of the three or so most famous bluesmen in his area by then, knew him, and respected his work in some ways and not others. Patton was far from the earliest to record blues (or earliest from Mississippi to record blues, or earliest to play blues, or oldest to be recorded playing blues, or...).

@@thebrazilianatlantis165 thank you for your comment, i used to take that statement because patton had Henry Sloan as mentor and at that time blues was hardly recorded. For example, there are no recordings of Sloan. In any case, i only mentioned about recorded blues and not actually compositions.

@@cngrinder9423 We know virtually nothing about Henry Sloan (contrary to some imaginative writings about him that have cropped up on the internet). E.g. Gayle Dean Wardlow points out that we don't know if he ever played a blues tune. You mentioned who mentored and influenced whom. Given that they were all playing blues as of about 1926 -- and given that in e.g. about 1916 Patton, Skip, Tommy Johnson, etc. all were -- who first recorded in 1929 vs. 1930 vs. 1931 doesn't tell us much about that at all. The record companies showed up to try to make even more money than Blind Lemon, Peg Leg Howell, etc. were making them and who they hit first was basically random.

Thank you

Kind of fell off the face of the Earth after his early 1930s Paramount recordings, and was out of music. Was rediscovered in the folk revival of the '60s, and Cream's cover of "I'm So Glad" really put him on the map. Alas, he died, cancer I think, as the '60s came to a close...but at least he got a taste of recognition and love. And yes, he is recognized as a singularity.

He's politically incorrect, that's why. He's also reputed to be the devil, as referred to in the Robert Johnson "Crossroads" tale.

ah he is.

correct!

w13rdguy explain dude ?

merci a tous

Hello dear ,how are you doing today
