   inrumford says Now that's weird I was listening to a bunch (well, for what little he recorded a bunch") of Skip James stuff the other day and was preparing to post when I got side swiped by life and didn't have a chance. Heck, I've even got skip's smiling mug sitting on my desktop in eager anticipation of an upload. Come to think of it, I sometimes live my life in eager anticipation of an upload, but that's a story for another time. In any case, Skip James + Bonnie Raitt, how can you go wrong! Great post, thanks!!

   She does a beautiful job with this song.  Her guitar arrangement doesn't copy all of James's picking rhythms, but so what? 

   In the movie Ghost World the middle-aged record collector meets a woman who actually likes Skip James's 1930 recording of this song.  Totally implausible, right?  Thank God for MOG!
