Complete 1931 Session

Skip James was a Delta blues artist from Mississippi.  Known for his career during the Great Depression and subsequent decades, he was “rediscovered” and became much more widely recognized during the 1960’s when he was in very poor health nearing the end of his life. His playing style was primarily in a minor key, featuring complex fingerpicking. After years of being out of print, The Complete 1931 Sessions, taken from James' Paramount recordings, will be remastered and reissued by ORG Music for RSD Black Friday on color vinyl. The reissue features new artwork and liner notes by author Larry Jaffee. The compilation is made up of some of the earliest years of the artist’s career and showcases the astounding talent he possessed from the very beginning.A1 Devil Got My WomanA2 If You Haven't Any Hay Get On Down The RoadA3 Hard Luck ChildA4 Drunken SpreeA5 Little Cow And Calf Is Gonna Die BluesA6 Be Ready When He ComesA7 How Long "Buck"A8 I'm So GladA9 Cherry Ball BluesB1 Hard Time Killin' Floor BluesB2 22-20 BluesB3 4 O'Clock BluesB4 Jesus Is A MIghty Good LeaderB5 Yola My Blues AwayB6 What Am I To Do BluesB7 Special Rider BluesB8 Illinois BluesB9 Cypress Grove Blues
