2	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!
3	Devil Got My Woman (1968) more music like this by Skip James Skip James made his original reputation with 17 recordings that he cut during February 1931, when he was 28. Although fluent on both the guitar and (to a lesser extent) the piano, James was most notable for his storytelling lyrics, his haunting high-pitched voice, and his distinctive interpretations of the Delta blues. James was rediscovered 33 ... see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!

5	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.

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!
7	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!
8	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!
9	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!
10	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!
