2-DVD set. Skip James is perhaps the most stylistically original of the blues performers from the Mississippi River Delta region, with his unusual Dm (Crossnote) tuning, haunting falsetto vocals, and an intense, variable marriage of music and text. Feldmann teaches Skip's classic 1931 blues recordings as well as a few fan favorites from his rediscovery years, "Crow Jane," "Worried Blues," "Look Down the Road" and "All Night Long." DVD two continues with two more classics in crossnote tuning and then turns to standard tuning for songs in D and E positions and ends with Skip's lone Spanish tuning (OpenG) recording, "Special Rider Blues." Includes the original 1931 recordings of the songs covered are as well as footage of Skip James from the 1966 Newport Folk Festival. Tablature is included as a PDF file. Intermediate. 234 min.
