Synopsis
Album Description
These 18 tracks are all that survive of 26 recorded for H.C. Speir of Paramount Records in Feb 1931. When, later in the year, Speir asked for more, Skip refused; he had found Jesus and gone to join his reformed father, who was now a Baptist minister, in Texas. And so, the reputation as one of the greatest singers in the history of the blues, rests almost entirely on these 18 sides. Skip was a huge influence on Robert Johnson and was feted by Eric Clapton His 'I'm So Glad' was covered by Cream and 'Devil Got My Woman' was the pivotal track that so hooks Thora Birch's character in the marvelous film Ghost World. Rev-Ola. 2007.
