Sometimes my mp3 player picks some really shitty playlists for me. Occasionally it will play back to back songs by the same artist, or just shit that I don't want to listen to. Every once in a while though it produces a perfect mix for my mood. My music device and I are in sync and I anticipate each track hoping the flow of awesomeness will continue. My ride home from a friends house the other night on 1-23-11 was one of those occurrences. The ride home lasted [...]

Skip James was from the Mississippi Delta, he scraped around labouring and playing juke joints like above. Eventually his recordings were released on the eve of the Great Depression, when they tanked he became a choir musician instead and it wasn't until the '60s folk revival he was rediscovered. This song was written after he figured his new wife was cheating with his mate. Skip James - Devil Got My Woman

Ce billet est la première partie d'une sorte de rétrospective du blues au travers de ses principaux protagonistes. J'étais partie pour ne faire qu'une playlist de 21 "indispensables", mais finalement j'ai décidé de prendre mon temps. Deux ou trois autres billets suivront celui-ci et j'espère ainsi vous montrer à quel point cette musique est passionnante. Je ne vais pas vous raconter toute l'histoire, sachez seulement que la musique blues est née à la fin du 19ème siècle dans le sud des Etats-Unis par la population afro-américaine. Les fameux "spirituals", les chants africains, les chants de travail sont les [...]
Lucinda Williams (guitar, vocal); Phil Parlapiano (accordion); Taras Prodanius, Bo Ramsey (guitar); Doug Pettibone (vocal, bass); Don Heffington (drums). Williams had garnered considerable critical acclaim, but her commercial success was moderate. Emmylou Harris said of Williams, "She is an example of the best of what country at least says it is, but, for some reason, she's completely out of the loop and I feel strongly that that's country music's loss." and the original.

Look Down The Road — 3:41 (Nehemiah Skip James)
One of the big players in Blues, the unique Skip James made the crucial recording of a 'Special Rider Blues', after which Dylan named his primary music-publishing company. (Unlike the common blues term 'rider', the phrase 'special rider' is more special: it seems to occur in only four pre-war songs and by implication in a fifth. One of these is Skip James'.) James is also one of those whose old records saw early vinyl release on the pioneering blues label Biograph, the name Dylan chooses for his 1985 retrospective box set. But Dylan's inwardness with the blues is such that [...]
Skip James was born near Bentonia, Mississippi. His father was a converted bootlegger turned preacher. As a youth, James heard local musicians such as Henry Stuckey and brothers Charlie and Jesse Sims and began playing the organ in his teens. He worked on road construction and levee-building crews in his native Mississippi in the early 1920s, and wrote what is perhaps his earliest song, "Illinois Blues", about his experiences as a laborer.

Lyrics here - Nehemiah Skip James) Wikipedia As is typical of his era, James recorded a variety of material — blues and spirituals, cover versions and original compositions — frequently blurring the lines between genres and sources. For example, "I'm So Glad" was derived from a 1927 song by Art Sizemore and George A. Little entitled "So Tired", which had been recorded in 1928 by both Gene Austin and Lonnie Johnson (the latter under the title "I'm So Tired of Livin' All Alone"). Biographer Stephen Calt, echoing the opinion of several critics, considered the finished [...]
Allmusic Shortly after his triumphant resurrection at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival, Skip James returned to the recording studio for the first time in over three decades to cut the 12 sides which comprise the superb Greatest of the Delta Blues Singers, a career-capping overview which reprises some of the songs from his 1931 Paramount sessions and introduces a half-dozen new compositions as well. Although his guitar skills have lost a step in the intervening years, the passage of time has only made James' vocals that much more expressive; his new material is especially devastating, in [...]
Last night, at 10:45pm, the health care bill passed by a vote of 219-212. It's been a hard fight and I think even the bill's most ardent supporters will be glad to move on. The "debate" never recovered any sense of maturity after a particularly nasty summer, but hopefully once the dust settles the benefits will win out over the rhetoric.Fatima Mansions - Lady Godiva's Operation (The Velvet

Skip James : Sickbed Blues [ purchase ] Delta blues giant Nehemiah Curtis ´Skip´ James (1902-1969) recorded some legendary sides in 1931, and then wasn´t heard of again until 1964. Blues hunters John Fahey, Henry Vestine and Bill Barth tracked him down to a hospital in Tunica, Mississippi, and soon after Skip found himself on stage at the renowned Newport Folk Festival. As opposed to many other rediscovered old bluesmen, and [...]

Mississippi Man is well on their way to releasing their second EP but first they're testing out new tunes every Monday at their November residency at the Silverlake Lounge. In between writing songs and writing residency diaries, singer and guitarist David Knight speaks about how fast the band is moving and what he misses most about the deep South. This interview by Britt Witt.
I have always thought that blues music reflects what is going on in the US well. Right now unemployment is high, this is not the first time that this has happened in this country. And blues musicians have documented it and offered over the years some hope and escape from the frustration of not having a job. The Y! Raddish Blog put together a play list of blues songs about Unemployment. I thought it would be cool to see how many of the videos I could find at YouTube, plus some [...]
I have a friend Craig who works in Waterstones and is an obsessive about old American folk music and, more specifically, blues. He has been making Neil Meursault mix CDs for ages, which I've heard and consistently found myself asking what the hell I was listening to. I usually hate the tedious collections of old blues music which seem to always adorn Uncut covers when they ask bands to name their formative influences, but some of the really scratchy old recordings Craig put on his CDs were amazing, so erm... this is the podcast I guess.
