Devil Got My Woman is best for content and sound...Today a close second
Both Sickbed Blues and Hospital Center Blues are haunting.

James was rediscovered in 1964 by Henry Vestine, Bill Barth and John Fahey;
the previous year Fahey had already rediscovered Bukka White.

There's a movie on the difficult times in the summer of 1964 called "Two Trains Runnin'"; hope it gets a DVd release, otherwise it will be difficult to watch here in Germany.
