Skip James (1902#8211;1969) was perhaps the most creative and idiosyncratic of all blues musicians. Drawing on hundreds of hours of conversations with James himself; Stephen Calt here paints a dark and unforgettable portrait of a man untroubled by his own murderous inclinations; a man who achieved one moment of transcendent greatness in a life haunted by failure. And in doing so; Calt offers new insights into the nature of the blues; the world in which it thrived; and its fate when that world vanished.

Essential Information for Aspiring Record Label OwnersBy Jean JosephThanks to the author for such a helpful guide to the record business. I learned pretty much everything that I wanted to know about a record label and gained insights I wold not have thought to look up on my own.It takes you through all the steps needed to get up and running and remain above the water in the record industry.This is an older edition of the book so many things would have changed a little with regards to the internet references and technology in general but if you can make those inferences yourself go ahead and take a shot with this older version.The wheel isnt reinvented with every new car and neither should the basic steps to forming a well working record label. This book gets you rolling fast!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. i love it.By Customerthis book is gonna help me in extreme ways on running my record label. it gives u information you wouldnt expect. n ways to handle certain situations. i love it.
