Great Albums of the #1960s,  No. 48: Skip James – Devil Got My Woman (1968). Inactive after his early 30s recordings, SJ reappeared in the 60s like a musical time traveler, capturing country blues essence on stark guitar or piano tracks like “22-20 Blues” and "Careless Love." He sings in a cracked tenor like a man reckoning with sin in the hope of salvation. His early work influenced Robert Johnson. A 60s Delta survivor, like Son House. #great_albums, #music, #classic_albums, #blues, #skip_james
