SKIP JAMES
When Robert Johnson went to the crossroads, he didn't meet the devil, & he didn't trade his soul to learn guitar (like Son House says).
He met Skip James, & he got a hellhound on his trail.
There, is the dread. It was Skip James that he was tryin' to shake. & he got caught.
When James says the devil got his woman, you damn well better believe it's 'cause he let her go.
When they lowered James into the ground, the casket was vibrating.
Listen carefully . . . you can still hear "I'm So Glad". 10,000 watts of British amplifier can't kill that.
