Skip James Today!
AllMusic Staff Pick – July 21, 2025
Skip James
Skip James Today!
October, 1966
Acoustic Blues
As quiet as it was kept then, Skip James might have made the best music of anyone who resurfaced during the mid-'60s "rediscovery" era for Mississippi country blues types. Certainly, there weren't many albums made during that time as good as this one; wonderful vocals, superb guitar and a couple of tunes with tasty piano make this essential.
