James (1902-1969) grew up at the Woodbine Plantation and as a youth learned to play both guitar and piano. At his 1931 session for Paramount he recorded eighteen songs, including the dark-themed “Devil Got My Woman” and “Hard Time Killing Floor Blues.” He later became a minister, but returned to performing blues during the 1960s “blues revival.”\n\nhttps://msbluestrail.org/blues-trail-markers/skip-james", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
