' I'm So Glad ' SKIP JAMES (1931) Delta Blues Guitar

[AzizMaskam]

Muskrat, I agree. And it's not just rappers. Also his fellow white citizens who didn't give a doodley dum about this immense talent right under their eyes. Hail to the British youngsters who gave sh*t.

[zepps88]

one of the best voices in blues history

[muskrat197333]

this guy is a genius....sorry I'm going to sound racist here, but it's sad that he was appreciated by young british guys that changed rock and not his own race that turns out that rap crap. amazing guitar work!! He is a lost gem that needs to be shown!!!

[uncasist]

Incredible guitar work and his voice is haunting in the upper registers... fast tempo.

[chiefmech23]

Love it........

[blitzman64]

Great stuff.

At least Cream credited writers unlike Zeppelin!!!

[ParkTexas]

Actually, I stumbled across this by accident. AWESOME!!!!!

[julian1775]

[RoyFive]

Thanks for all these uploads, Ragtime!!

Besides all the great singing and picking, what I love about James in the song is how is almost trying to convince himself that he is glad, even though he is really hurting.

[sebastiansap2003]

The godfather of Rock& Roll !

coooooler  than cream

[busessuck1]

there's not enough Skip James on youtube... I remember hearing some of his 60s songs a while back and I remember they were all fantastic but I can't find any apart from "drnken spree"

[jaysun34]

@busessuck1 There's Devil Got My Woman and Illinois Blues here, too, thank to Dorian.

[busessuck1]

@jaysun34 yeah it's a great channel, but i don't like how he adds reverb... anyway there's some good skip james torrents on the net, I can't find the full discography, but what's there is fantastic, I'll probably upload em

[catherinebaluteau]

génial

[libbe4]

I bought this old recording - completely astonished about the bad quality. You've filtered the higher tones from this recording. I'd rather like this to hear than my cd ;o)

[89DirtDog]

I mean Cream`s cover song was just great but this one blows my mind XD

[sparkyization]

@89DirtDog It's ALL good, bro'. Deep Purple does a nice cover of this old Skip toon as well. A good artist just can't hurt a great song ;-)

[Tulsar187]

@sparkyization TRUE!!!

[JimmiBrandt]

nice og jeg troede at det var Cream der havde lavet den! men der kan man bare se:-)

[liquidyodel]

orpheus and pan in one
