I couldn’t skip James!

Seriously, with Skip James, he has to be on my list because he totally hits the spot. There’s plenty of justification from cultural relevance, too. If my goal was to be well rounded with representations from genres I probably would have left both James and Son House off and included Leadbelly and Bach. But both Son House and Skip James punch me in the ****ing face. The punching me in the ****ing face factor trumps all else.
