Product Description

From Amazon.com

With an unmistakable falsetto delivery, Skip James created some of history's eeriest blues records. His blues sounds dark and mysterious, using odd tunings, structures, and rhythms, and exploring gloomy lyrical themes. Unlike other bluesmen of the day, James's music was personal and bleak, played for his own emotional release and not for purposes of entertainment. "Devil Got My Woman," "Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues," "Hard Luck Child," and "Special Rider Blues" convey sorrow and misery like few others can. Uptempo numbers such as the classic "I'm So Glad" and "Drunken Spree," which resembles the hillbilly traditional "Late Last Night," showcase his forceful guitar picking while rags "Little Cow and Calf" and the jumpy "How Long 'Buck'" feature his unique piano work. --Marc Greilsamer

4.0 out of 5 stars クールな魂のブルース, 2007/10/9
ロバート・ジョンスンの声は高すぎ・明るすぎ・硬すぎて聞こえる私の耳にとって、スキップ・ジェイムズの歌唱は明るすぎず暗すぎず、硬すぎずやわらかすぎず、熱が入りすぎず冷めすぎずに、「これぞブルース」と心酔できるベストなものだった。
おそらく社会の中でおかれていた境遇や、日々の生活の中から、切々と搾り出されてきた歌詞とメロディーは、哀愁と閉塞でまみれている。しかし、気持ちはこめながらもどこかで突き放した客観の描写として、時にユーモアさえ感じさせながら、聞き手の心深くしみこませるように届けるところに、スキップ・ジェイムズの諧謔的センスやたくましさ、シンガーとしての技量の突出を感じる。

4.0 out of 5 stars Skip James, 2002/1/29
By A Customer
 スキップ・ジェイムスの、1931年録音の録音全18曲。絶望に打ちのめされながら、あくまで強い歌声が全編で聞かれる。時代がら純粋なブルース形式のものは半分ぐらいで、セイクレッド・ソングも多い。ギターの曲とピアノの曲あり。ギターのみの録音なら五つ星確実だったのだが。ブルース原理主義の人より広いレンジの音楽ファンにぜひ聴いてほしい名作。
