JeffK Paul Geremia Video (21) RE: Paul Geremia Video 29 Sep 00


The song you're thinking of is "Skin Game Blues," (aka "Georgia Skin Game") which I agree is a great song! An old one, too... We used that one in the video we did, I think in its entirety (if I remember right -- it was a last-minute addition, so I can't recall right off). But it's on his "Gamblin' Woman Blues" cd on Red House...you can get it through cdnow.com or amazon.com or, better yet, through red House's home page at www.redhouserecords.com If you haven't already (and I know Mr. Wirtz is here and there on this discussion forum), check out Stefan Wirtz's Geremia discography at http://www.wirz.de/music/geremdsc.htm It's got all of his album titles, cover art, and track lists for each album -- handy when looking for a particular song! By the way, I have to reccomend Geoff Muldaur's version of that song on hs (sadly out of print) Prestige lp, "Sleepy Man Blues," an excellent album too! I really love his version! A whole new thread could spring up from discussions about Geoff's decision to stay true to the original lyrics of the song and use the "N" word repeatedly. It's kind of a shock when you first hear it, but I have to admit, it adds a startling sort of authenticity, if nothing else.
