Skip James (1902-1969) was perhaps the most creative and
idiosyncratic of all blues musicians. Drawing on hundreds of hours
of conversations with James himself, Stephen Calt here paints a
dark and unforgettable portrait of a man untroubled by his own
murderous inclinations, a man who achieved one moment of
transcendent greatness in a life haunted by failure. And in doing
so, Calt offers new insights into the nature of the blues, the
world in which it thrived, and its fate when that world vanished.
