Our Take

SKIP JAMES may have been the OG bluesman, but his influence is still reverberating all these years later, as evidenced by his latest album "Today." While other artists may have come and gone, James remains a timeless figure in the music industry, and this album only solidifies his status as a legend.

From the moment you press play, you can feel the soulful vibes emanating from every track. James' haunting vocals and intricate guitar work are as captivating as ever, drawing you in and refusing to let go. It's like taking a trip back in time to the heyday of the blues, where raw emotion and visceral storytelling reign supreme.

One standout track is "Gimme My Friskin' Money," a rollicking number that showcases James' ability to blend traditional blues with a modern edge. The infectious groove will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time. Another highlight is "I'm So Glad," a melancholic ballad that tugs at the heartstrings with its poignant lyrics and heartfelt delivery.

Overall, "Today" is a masterful showcase of SKIP JAMES' talent and artistry. It's a reminder of why he's considered one of the greats in the blues genre, and a testament to his enduring legacy. So do yourself a favor and give this album a spin – you won't regret it.
