Ghost world and Robert Crumb did a lot to revie interest in the blues. Without them, I might not be looking this stuff up.

[eevlwich]

[MathiuDeFoor]

If you meet him in heaven and you walk up to him, he'll slap you in the face and say "Get the fuck outta my face you jive ass motherfucker."

That's when you'll know you met the real Skip James

[ZepHead1971]

I am humbled.

[reelanrock]

Isn't that Howlin' Wolf looking on?

[SoVerySappy]

Yep

[MarcelBPunkt]

I'm unworthy. I'm ashes. I'm dust. My deepest regards to this man!

[charliedontsurf70]

anybody remember the movie ghost world?when steve bushemi sells thera birch an old blues album and she falls in love with this song?she asks steve for more songs that sound like this?and he tells her "their are no other songs like that"?priceless!

[azimedin]

@charliedontsurf70 "there are no other songs like that". There is She, lying on her bed... listening to Skip James. This is the time when you hear this song for a first time. Amazing movie...

[SoVerySappy]

I think he is playing a Martin D-28...but it sound like a D-18. The strings must be 14's.

[ATF24682468]

get a life and just listen to God himself play

[frietag]

I never truly liked the blues but this song is great. And i think it is potato chips. lol True Folk Fest

[santasxgirlfriend]

[natiln]

Beautiful.

[doctordark]

Howlin' Wolf don't look so impressed.

[taftmcintosh]

He was pretty agitated at son house who was drunk off his ass and talking over him while he was playing. These guys had something going that we dont have these days either. If he loved it you wouldnt have seen it on wolf's face, he looked at it like he was gettin showed up.

[sequoia1979]

he is soooo smooth.

[jipes]

Wonderful ! his voice is so moving !

[ariellehunter]

that is so cool ! his music lives on forever with this video.

[kickingmule]

It's good, but I prefer the original recorded Febr 1931 Pm 13088, Paramount ! B-side Cypress Grove Blues. By Skip James !

The Blues Is Alive !

Peace !

[buckelastard]

I bet there is a bunch of white boys peeking through them blinds watching the masters do their stuff! Classic man!

[hannigaholic]

Nah we can't jump high enough to see and we're too busy staring at our small penises...

[buckelastard]

I said white boys not chineese!

[motorpsych0]

So damn cool!

For instance, who is the guy (or the guys) that do the intro to the "Dave Chappelle Show"?
