he seems to add a lot of soul into his music but this is crappy music sounding staticky

:P

@willowNmeadow3392 It is SUPPOSED to sound " staticky " because it is from an old 78 rpm record. You dont know what that is but its okay. At least you stopped by to try ,,,TRY,,,to understand real LIFE and real blues. Thank you,,,,,but read descriptions and educate yourself before judging from now on ,,,,okay? Hugs n peace "Jenny

If Cream hadn't covered this on Fresh Cream, I wouldn't be here listening and marveling at Skip James' incredible playing. Dis Clapton all you want, but he and many other English blues men [Mayhall, Savoy Brown, Page, Yardbirds, Zep, Alexis Korner, and so many more] brought American blues back to American audiences.

I'm very grateful for that.

@johnjtheoriginal Yes he was indeed a Delta Blues man. He had his special style of playing. That sound. Seems to roll all over the frets huh? And you are so welcome. Im glad you enjoyed this. Bless ya.

he was joking, silly billy

[kevboslice112]

its a good thing we have youtube so that music like this will never be forgotten

Umm...can we stop arguing over who or what made the blues into what it became? I'm here to hear great music. The unfortunate graffiti of your argumentative posts clouds my attention and makes it harder to sit back and enjoy the blues. No wonder so many folks opt out of letting others post on their videos!

@1blastman geeeezy petes skedaddle fuck you dont get it, do you? of COURSE they were compensated because these songs CHOSE to come thru THEM, the EXPRESSION is the PAYMENT... the ability to be a storyteller and to bounce those vibrations OUT, to give VOICE to what so many others were feeling, and WOULD be feeling, and have been feeling forever. THE SONGS DONT NEED HELP. dont worry about it.

@patobrun You're right. Alan Lomax and others did a remarkable job of recording the blues for the Library of Congress. I first heard Leadbelly on those. Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Dylan, Koerner, Ray and Glover and many others from the early 60's brought the blues back to us back then with the Folk movement. But the early 60's British bluesmen, also helped to bring the blues to a larger audience.

But the blues originals were never fully compensated for their contributions to music - shame.
