Yeah, Skip James was in his own league... Recorded some of the eeriest songs ever that folks still arguing over... Like "Hard Time Killin' Floor"... BTW, I do that one in a Double Dropped D but it ain't a song that you can play to just any crowd...

The Scorese series is absolutely priceless...

BTW, lotta folks have mentioned Alan Lomax and some folks might be goin'. "Who is he???"... Well he did thousands of field recordings which are now in the Library of Congress... He not only recorded well known folks like Muddy Waters but also hundreds of folks who even lotta blues folks have never heard of... He was able to record on plantations, juke joints and even the penitenturies... Some fine stuff...
