Skip James & Jack Owens - 50 Years: Mississippi Blues In Bentonia (CD)

Release Date: 05/01/01

This CD tells you the story of Bentonia Blues – the home of Henry Stuckey, the father of Bentonia Blues. But no records of him exist, so his friend Skip James was the first who got the chance to record “Devil got my woman” or “Cherry Ball Blues”, all played in open G tuning. 50 years later, Jack Owens still played the Bentonia Style… also on this CD!
