1	Blues from the Delta (1998) more music like this by Skip James Drawing 18 tracks from Skip James' rediscovery recordings made on Vanguard Records -- Today! and Devil Got My Woman, plus two previously unreleased tracks -- Blues From the Delta is over 75 minutes of the best tracks James ever recorded. Where the definitive cuts of many of these songs haven't been preserved by modern technology without ... see all copies from $7.33! new only from $14.22!
2	Hard Time Killing Floor Blues (2003) more music like this by Skip James Hard Time Killing Floor Blues was the first session Skip James recorded following his rediscovery by John Fahey and Henry Vestine in the mid-'60s. Though he had not played the blues for more than 20 years, his skills were largely undiminished, and he turns in a fantastic set here. James was the pinnacle of the Bentonia (Mississippi) sound, which ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
3	Today! (1964) more music like this by Skip James The 12 sides that comprise Today! are among the best James would record after his rediscovery in the '60s. His playing may be a bit less intricate than that captured on his legendary 78s from the '30s, but his unique falsetto sounds no less troubled or haunting than before on this album's definitive performances of "Hard Times Killing Floor Blues, ... see all copies from $12.09! new only from $12.09!
4	Cypress Grove Blues (2004) more music like this by Skip James With his high, eerie falsetto and haunting guitar tunings, Skip James sounds like no other country blues player. Although his lyrics were generally drawn from the floating bag of clichés that showed up in countless blues songs, his atmospheric recordings, done in 1931 for Paramount, gave James' songs the appearance of poignancy, and his sad, ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $9.95!
5	Mississippi to Mali (2003) more music like this by Corey Harris Corey Harris is adept at combining contemporary sensibilities with traditional country blues forms in a manner so natural that the cracks and fissures between now and then never seem to show, an accomplishment he expands on Mississippi to Mali to include two continents. Again, the music flows so naturally that the bridges and welds that join the ... see all copies from $11.65! new only from $11.65!
6	The Great Blues Men (1972) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $15.00! new only from $16.24!
7	Doc and the Boys/Live and Pickin' (2003) more music like this by Doc & Merle Watson On this release, Southern Music combined two '70s United Artists albums by the great Doc Watson: Doc and the Boys from 1976 and Live and Pickin' from 1979 are paired on a single compact disc for this 2003 release. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.86! new only from $14.86!
8	She Lyin' (1964) more music like this by Skip James By the time James had been rediscovered in the 1960s, he was still capable of playing entrancing, dynamic music, but was much less consistent and not as striking a vocalist. It was a testimony to his greatness that he still managed to make compelling records, and he was among the best storytellers and dramatic singers in the traditional realm. ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $13.85!
9	Freewayman (2008) more music like this by Pat Donohue see all copies from $13.77! new only from $13.77!
10	I'd Rather Be The Devil: The Legendary 1931 Session (2007) more music like this by Skip James They've been reissued as a piece before, and no doubt they'll be reissued together in the future. But here they are again on this 2007 compilation: all 18 surviving tracks that Skip James recorded in February 1931 for Paramount Records, which in fact represented the totality of his output on disc before he was rediscovered in the '60s. It's gotten ... see all copies from $23.39! new only from $23.39!

12 view cover	Blues Reflex (2006) more music like this by Bob Brozman This string-driven world music showcase is a concise textbook lesson on various genres, which shouldn't be surprising since Bob Brozman is a professor at Macquarie University in Australia where he lectures on ethnomusicology. It's a trip around the globe in less than an hour as Brozman showcases the instruments in his extensive guitar collection ... see all copies from $22.17! new only from $22.17!
13 view cover	The Complete 1931 Recordings (2005) more music like this by Skip James Skip James recorded 18 songs for Paramount Records in Grafton, WI, in 1931, a session that yielded some of the greatest and most unique sides in the history of country blues. These tracks have been issued in their entirety by several labels, including Yazoo, Document, and Body & Soul, each of which has transferred them from surviving 78s. In the ... see all copies from $15.69! new only from $15.69!
14 view cover	The Complete Early Recordings of Skip James (1994) more music like this by Skip James The Complete Early Recordings CD showcases a true guitar virtuoso who was no slouch on the piano either. His break on "Illinois Blues" is almost off-putting in the nonchalance with which he twists the notes around, and "How Long 'Buck'" features him giving forth some funky piano in an almost playful manner. This is a remastered edition of an ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
15 view cover	Complete Bloomington Indiana Concert, Vol. 2 (3/30/68) (1999) more music like this by Skip James This is the second half of a show Skip James gave in Bloomington, IN, on March 30, 1968. He is in fine form here, with his high, haunting vocals and delicate guitar work sounding wonderfully intimate as he delivers solid versions of "Illinois Blues," "Cypress Grove Blues," and "Catfish Blues" before closing things off with a handful of spirituals, ... see all copies from $14.79! new only from $14.79!
16 view cover	The Best There Ever Was: The Legendary Early Blues Performers (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Yazoo Records has long been one of the prime sources for rural blues reissues from the 1920s and '30s. Transferred from old 78s, some so rare only a single copy or two are known to exist, these tracks offer a wonderful glimpse into a fabled blues past. Essentially a kind of greatest-hits collection for Yazoo, The Best There Ever Was features ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
17 view cover	Legends of Country Blues (2003) more music like this by Various Artists JSP's Legends of Country Blues compiles five CDs of performances by Son House, Skip James, Bukka White, Tommy Johnson, and Ishman Bracey. These historic prewar recordings have been remastered, and according to the packaging, feature "unprecedented listening quality." While that claim is a bit of a stretch, the majority of this material does sound ... see all copies from $30.93! new only from $30.93!
18 view cover	Heroes of the Blues: The Very Best of Skip James (2003) more music like this by Skip James Skip James' soft eerie falsetto and odd guitar tunings place him apart from other Delta blues players, and when he took a turn at the piano, that, too, was unique. His reputation rests on a dozen or so sides recorded in the late '20s and early '30s, but when he was rediscovered in the 1960s, his skills were still intact and he recorded for several ... see all copies from $9.27! new only from $9.27!
19 view cover	King of the Blues, Vol. 8 (2003) more music like this by Skip James With his high, eerie falsetto and haunting guitar tunings, Skip James sounds like no other country blues player. Although his lyrics were generally drawn from the same bag of floating clichés that showed up in countless other blues songs, his atmospheric recordings, done in 1931 for Paramount, gave James' songs the appearance of tremendous ... see all copies from $22.15! new only from $22.15!
20 view cover	Southern Country Blues, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Southern Country Blues, Vol. 2 features three discs of music, each filled to the brim with legendary country blues performers from the South. There's no shortage of big names here: Memphis Minnie, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Leadbelly, and many others. It's somewhat of a letdown to discover that each performer only gets one song on the ... see all copies from $16.25! new only from $16.25!
21 view cover	Rosewood & Steel (1996) more music like this by Mary Flower Not quite as strong as it predecessor but definitely worth hearing, Rosewood & Steel has Flower putting her own special spin on music by Junior Parker ("Mystery Train"), Charlie Patton ("Pony Blues"), Skip James ("Cypress Grove Blues"), and Brooks Berry ("Can't Sleep For Dreaming"), along with a bunch of originals. Geoff Muldaur, Amos Garrett, ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $14.99!
