Absolutely one of the best Skip James was. RE a previous post...Charley Patton was, of course, Delta Blues royalty.
At the risk of turning this into a Delta Blues thread here's a Tommy Johnson number. Note his badass high-top fade
But no, this thread is bigger than Delta Blues so here's something else..
Fletcher Henderson - Variety Stomp
And here's a beautiful example of how white people in the 1920s stole the idea of Jazz from black people in the 1920s.
Bix Beiderbecke and the Wolverines - Fidgety Feet
I'm borderline fetishistic about this musical era so I hope and pray that this thread stays alive forever.
