It surprises me that no one has mentioned the look at the end in those eyes. This guy lived thru some shit: Prohibition, the Great Depression, living in the south during those times. Lord knows what happened in his personal life. I think "Crow Jane" might be an old song which he covered but I could be wrong. Either way, it is a pretty dark song if you can listen beyond being amazed by the skill and the style of Skip's playing.

WoW!!

powerful...just powerful

Shocking lyrics

He was playing music. He was playing blues. But he was also doing something else at the same time. Something almost nobody else could do.

Nehemiah Curtis "Skip" James (09 de junio de 1902 - 03 de octubre de 1969) fue cantante, guitarrista, pianista y compositor de blues norteamericano.

Ho my

I recognize this piece from the movie Brother where art thou.

BLUES LEGEND!!! There may be equals but nobody is better. PERIOD FULL STOP!

I SHALL DRINK NO WINE BEFORE ITS TIME!!!

The blues is the most beautiful evil you will ever hear....The darkness

True soul right there.

Macabre lyrics. Music is great though.

Idk, man.. It's brutal! Love it!

Even Dion Dimucci of Dion and the Belmonts is a fan. Did an album awhile back called ''Son of Skip James''

Real good playing! A 'haunting sound'..

What series is this from?.sonny and brownie also sis this vid.

This is a truly terrifying song. So upbeat and deadly.

What a great guitar player he was! A very loose style it seems, sounds amazing!

Like Robert Johnson, James was obviously a Jimmie Rodgers fan

My name is Jane (tagged with Crazy Jane by friends). In 4 months I’ll be ..70). I did not want a funeral until I heard and watched Mr James do this Crow Jane. Now I want a funeral with this video played. Or at least have it played when they put me only 6 feet under. This is the only music I want to hear anymore.

You can tell he really killed someone before I'm convinced this isn't just a song . Listening to his music Skippy is a dark fella

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

High and tight

I am sure the roots of “Hey Joe “are in this classic American blues song. Why do all these women have to die anyway?😂

I like that he's going to bury her eight feet down. A couple extra feet just to make sure she doesn't come crawling back up.

Cruel Jane Cruel Jane

I owl brought me here

He's better drunk than most people are sober

Heard this song on an episode of "Harrow" and I just had to come heat the whole thing!

Wish I could give this a "like" each time I listen.

wow, simply wow.

Found this video back in 2006 when I was 14 and been coming back over and over since then. I’m 30 now. Thanks for this upload whoever you are.

Tuned one whole step down (D G C F A d) The song is in D. Not really minor or major. Uses E major, B7/F#, B7, & A7 shapes from standard, but due to tuning difference, the chords are D, A7/E, A7, & G7.

I love this song but can someone please help me understand it?? Who is crow Jane and why did he kill her ?

Sincere music is the best music

The background, the everything is original unlike you fucks 😁

So raw and full of emotion. Damn good.

When you look at the black blues guitarists from way back. All of them had style and class

wonderful

All this comes from Africa. Mali to be exact. For some of those that are confused...

"Zdsthisdoanthin?" "Damn!" **Hand slams next to a retro Macintosh**

Priceless!

prretty sure this was a confession

'Hey Joe' has definately borrowed something from this classic..

This must be where Brad Hamilton in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” got the phase “I shall serve no fries before their time!”

every failed take was a full bottle he had to chug, adding onto the 5 bottles he helped himself to in the back when he arrived

You realize that if Skip posted this as a Tweet, that Twitter would instantly block him!

I HIT THE GROUND LAUGHING AT HIS DRUNK BLOATED ASS
