Skip James was the Master of Finger-Picking; he was hit hard by the Great Depression and never got to show his true potential,. Thou he enjoyed some fame during the Blues Revival, it wasn't what he deserved. Thank you for your contribution Mr. James you are appreciated; please take a listen here and have a sweet Monday: Illinois Blues , Hard time killing floor Blues , Jesus is a mighty good leader , 22-20 Blues , Cherry Ball Blues and I'm so glad
