Product Review:
Skip James' Cherry Ball Blues eerie, falsetto-led Delta blues from a singular stylist.
Skip James recorded these 18 tracks in Grafton, Wisconsin in February 1931 for Paramount Records. They sat largely unheard until his rediscovery at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival. "Devil Got My Woman" was covered by Cream on Wheels of Fire; "I'm So Glad" also by Cream on their debut. This 2016 European compilation on The Devil's Tunes collects the core of his Paramount session output.
