Devil Got My Woman - Skip James
Nehemiah Curtis "Skip" James sharecropped, made bootleg whiskey, played guitar in open D minor tuning and developed the three-finger picking technique. Re-discovered at the same time as the masterful Son House in '64, he found long awaited recognition with Chris Thomas King covering his "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" for the film O Brother Where Art Thou and Cream and Deep Purple covering his 'I'm So Glad'.
