Description

This amazing box set is subtitled: THE COMPLETE PRE-WAR RECORDINGS OF: SKIP JAMES SON HOUSE BUKKA WHITE ISHMON BRACY TOMMY JOHNSON Five of the most important AND moving performers from the early days of blues recording with ALL their classics for $5 per disc. Up until recently, you would have to spend between $50 & $75 to get this music on cd. This comprehensive set of essential music has been remastered for the best sound quality and includes notes, recording dates and personnel for all the sessions........ And what about the music? Well, this is it.......... This is some of the most deeply moving and terrifying sounds of the era. The connection to the soul is strong and the performers all seem possessed. From Bukka White's 1940 sessions come such gems as ""Fixin To Die Blues" and the AMAZING "Special Streamline". Skip James only recorded 18 songs during this period but each one has an "other-worldly" sound with his ethereal voice and eccentric approach to guitar and piano while Son House has a virtual mainline to the soul of man in his powerful and uncompromising recordings. Needless to say, this set is a cornerstone of any collection of pre-war blues and such a deal! ..................... Disc: 1....... 1. Devil Got My Woman - Skip James 2.
