  • Description

    Rory Block is the most acclaimed female acoustic blues artist, with over 200,000 US scans.

    On her fifth release in the acclaimed "Mentor Series" on Stony Plain Records, Rory pays tribute to Skip James, one of the most important country blues artists in history.

    Rory actively tours internationally and each new CD is a high profile occasion in the blues community. The liner notes contain an excerpt from Block's autobiography, When A Woman Gets The Blues, in which she recalls visiting Skip James in hospital: "A hospital is no place to see a man this great.

    He wandered about in a bathrobe. I think he smoked a cigarette. He never met our eyes but gazed downwards. I could feel his despair." On this album, Block captures the spirit of his greatness.
