'Devil Got My Woman' SKIP JAMES (1931) Delta Blues Guitar Legend

[KaiBailey]

To this day this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[Petemetheous]

The most spine tingling moment in 20th century music.....0.21. The voice of the ghost of a people!

[kiddykokane]

'Devil Got My Woman' is one of my favorites ...got a hard cutt'ed Vinyl by Robert Johnson 'em still before start cry'in

[BO1974]

Now I know where Canned Heat got their sound from :-)

[catkittycatkittycat]

@BO1974 nice.! good call

[zepps88]

Skip James had one of the best voices in blues history

[KingOfCoconuts]

where the fuck do i get that red hot blues cd from? can't find it anywhere!

[uncanesciolto]

NO dislikes! wow! great song..

[Oncewasa]

The blues is philosophy...so deep yet so simple

[TheAmargao]

The real stuff

[7621lm]

Real moanin'' blues - great stuff. Very lamenting tune.

[naditales]

maravillosa....

[dan25pim]

Haunting.

[DEADHEAD712]

Gregg Allman does a great cover of this tune on his new album.

[anki1900]

0:22

sounds like 'Gaddafi the devil' :D

[MrTATMAN67]

People really need to get back in touch with what music was really bout, And not just gettin up on stage say'n a whole alot of nothing but words... GET REAL, WHAT THEY CALL MUSIC TODAY IS TRASH AND THEN NEED TO FIND A NEW WAY TO LIVE...

[GratefulVince]

Ghost World is a underrated gem, but if you only know about Skip James from a movie - you are fucking up.

[inspinneke]

this is robert johnson people! skip might've played this but not here :)

go to your local music store by/order robert's complete works, this is from there ;)

[MrJayredhawk]

this song is pure emotion channeled through 1 voice and 1 guitar. a bottle of whiskey + heartbreak is usually the formula for good blues. Skip James was an American Treasure.

[bebecarlo]

wielbię.

[missbehaviour777]

I can't get enough of this.

[oldbluechef]

What's with that picture, doesn't look like the Skio I knew in the mid 1960s.

[andybarrful]

This song gets a bit shit around 3:02...

[TheRedbear2000]

Now this is what I call blues.Much better than the crap we hear today

[MST3Killa]

@TheRedbear2000 Most of the stuff we hear today is Blues Rock... not really... Blues... ya know?

[P90smuv]

@MST3Killa ya....i know lol

[nigeldunham]

I prefer blues hammer.

[Bram25]

When you understand blues, you understand live itself.

[horlacsd]

nooo ragtime!!! ads now!!@ ah well, you gotta eat

[traveler1017]

This totally relaxes me. I have to pipe it in at work. ;) Love it.

[NYhomewrecker]

Maybe he was one of Canned Heat's influences. Their singer sounds like him.

[1kohe]

@NYhomewrecker i agree , almost same voice

[kickchick1974]

I'm here because of Ghost World.... LOVE this song, and this era of blues was the best.

[psycovideos]

This music has a kind of magic I can't explain

[fuzzh3ad]

I pour myself a cup of whiskey and I sit there listening to the blues enjoy the little things in life

[BadOne767]

@fuzzh3ad Amen man.

[ichaffee1]

@fuzzh3ad you are soo right.. 

[deewilki]

personally james is way better than johnston

[ReichTheCure]

Increíble!^^

[jeffm300]

This gives me chills.

[achemaro]

isso é genial

[caesarcerf]

sestsa - no, i knew that. my point was the same as yours.

[sestsa]

@caesarcerf Okay, yeah I thought so. Just making sure.

[gomagenta]

Kids these actually thin lil wayne is music they obviously have not heard the roots of modern music

[caesarcerf]

to me sounds very much like robert johnson, earlier and arguably, a better guitar player.

[rickdrobert]

@caesarcerf Robert Johnson did a take off of this song with Hell Hound On My Trail Robert sounds like skip If you are interested look for a cd called the Roots of Robert Johnson HE DID A LOT OF TAKE OFFS!

[sestsa]

@caesarcerf Wait, did you mean that Johnson was earlier or James? Cause James was about 9 years older and was one of the influences on Johnson's music.

[lisetteblue]

[infectedmushroom3]

[woodtrevor27]

[seabobinsd]

Gregg Allman does a fine job of covering this ole' Skip James tune on

his new solo project. It's titiled LOW COUNTRY BLUES

[MyMoppet52]

Love this song and the sound he pulls together. I wish I could have introduced Skip James to a few men I've known in my life. It sounds like he has some influence maybe?

How come so many times I pull  up a great song and it's posted by you, RagtimeDorianHenry??? You sure know GREAT music. Thank you so much for all your work, time, and effort to keep these greats alive in our minds! It is appreciated.

One the best ever!

[yosoymiavatar]

"Sabes, preferiría ser el viejo diablo/ yo preferiría ser el diablo/ que ser el hombre de esa mujer...

Sabes, fui a dormir anoche/ pensando lograr algo de descanso/ pero mi mente arrancó a volar/ como un ganso salvaje del oeste...

Sabes, la mujer a la que amo/ la mujer a la que amo/ se la quité a mi mejor amigo/ pero él tuvo suerte y logró tenerla de nuevo...."

Wim Wenders' "The Soul Of A Man" just stuck this song in my heart today. I just HAD TO translate to spanish! Thanks for uploading 

[badboyboogie77]

@yosoymiavatar oyee gracias por el aporte habia algunas cosas que no entrendia , dedo pa arriba

[pete2778]

When you hear this and shivers go up and down your spine you realise that the blues isn't bound by colour, age, background or location but that it can speak to any receptive soul like no other music can. The blues will never die.

[psychedelichobo]

oh i've seen the vinyl editions of this album.. I want it soooo bad!

[lilicantdrive]

Needs to be a Love button

[matveisbc]

a m a z i n g

[Skwcz]

that picture is creppy ! ... the song itself is creepy ! ... love it ! :)

[opolopp]

listening to this feels so soothing for some reason

[Beatmyguest001]

This is SO good.

[ingodscountry75]

Music sometimes digs into my soul..  and this song goes pretty deep

[MsSistren]

"gohst world"! 

[trignoriver1]

Something about the cadence -- unique even within the blues. The cadence -- can it be traced back to African field songs of the south?

[weiner19]

holy fuck i have just been reborn.......

[mike3540]

i sing this song to annoy my mother

[bigwillhenk]

very nice and emo

[TheSuspiciouslady]

when listening to this song, feel each beating of my heart.....no music but The Blues ( and maybe no nothing !!) can make you experience such amazing emotions, the kind you feel in front the greatest fear of your life or when meating your only love....something resounding from a place very deep in you, you don't even know where, but suddenly obvious....

[nicodagger]

@TheSuspiciouslady beautifully put!

[TheSuspiciouslady]

@nicodagger : ;-)

[nicodagger]

@TheSuspiciouslady Avec beaucoup de plaiser, madamoiselle! Merci pour votre sentiments!

[MELODY59833]

[bluelibra65]

[loops49]

I'm obsessed about this song, I love it, pure art

[davidmartinsvideos]

Wow!...

[Bandaids4ever]

To listen to a piece of music and feel so much emotion... Well, that's when you know you're listening to the blues.

[BaseElement1]

[ladyannaify]

podrias enviar traduccion en español¿

[RastafariPoet]

Woah I love this.. This is the type of blues I love playing.

[wbdeford]

Blues doesn't get much better than Skip James 1931 recordings

[mianphila]

foudroyant !

[o0mary0o]

really fantastic! I first listened to this song in the film Ghost World, and I usually replay it over & over again too :) I love it!

[OkieSlims]

I like this version better than his higher pitched and longer version.. great post.. thanks

[danzigisjebus]

Quite enjoyed this!

[charliebubblesoar]

he's just got everything, doesn't he?

like in ghost world, i have a tendency to replay this song, over and over and over. i have it on an abridged version of a cd called martin scorsese presents the blues. wonderful

[zenguitarblues]
