Skip James - Hard Times Killing Floor Blues, American Folk and Blues Festival, Cologne Oct. 9, 1967
UPDATE NOVEMBER 2018: please enjoy my new VintageBlues4K version of Skip’s original 1931 recording of this song:
I don’t think a version of him performing this song has been on YouTube before. As a fan of PreWar acoustic blues guitar it is always a bit magical to discover a new sliver of audio or video from an artist of that era. As it seems we’re about to embark on another Great Depression any day now, we should listen to this message from a guy who managed to make it through the first one, in style. The immortal: Skip James.
