+Mindfear2006 Skip James had some songs that could make people want to get up and dance, but look at Skip here. There's no cross talk from the other musicians (unlike during other performances). Nobody's moving around or clowning. He's got their full attention and to enjoy his music it needs more attention to hear the nuance and his genius. I think about some footage of Booker 'Bukka' White from this same night. He could start a party all by himself. Within a couple of verses he had people up and dancing. He invited the banter with Howlin Wolf and the other musicians. I'd never try to pick one style over another in this case, but I think Skip was probably 20 or 30 years ahead of his time. If a 28 year old Skip James had walked into a Greenwich Village folk club in 1960 he would have been an international sensation.

+Odin029 hey do you know any musicians who play the guitar like he did? cos i cant find any who come close. It's a shame there's not much music from him.I WISH he wrote more and not stopped playing.still cant understand he must have known he was good and differnt. well i prefer this its has more heart and soul,you feel it when you listen to his music its pure.^pity he didnt the credit and honour he should of had

Some of his songs were covered by Robert Johnson so obviously he had respect among the blues men, but maybe he was just too far ahead of his time for the wider public, I hear a lot of neo soul and modern jazz in his songs.

He often doesn't sing the last word of a verse. I guess he figures since you know what it is, he doesn't have to sing it. It's not just this song, either. He does the same thing on Crow Jane. I don't know of anyone else who does that.
