Jake Bugg and Skip James.

In the Observer newspaper today Jake Bugg makes a passing reference to his recent discovery of Skip James (I say ‘recent’ because Jake Bugg is only 20 years old, so for him everything has to be recent).

He describes Skip James’ work as ‘dark’ – spot on there.

It’s always a good thing when musicians who are on the rise make reference to the old bluesmen.
