The Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album was awarded from 1983 to 2011 and from 2017 onwards.

Skip is a true legend of blues, but his sound is a little bit raw for my tastes, but still a must have album. For those who saw Martin Scorsese six part blues series on PBS you know that one of the segments was directed by Wim Wender's who chose the work of Skip James as a subject for presentation. There Skip's very short recording career (as it turns out early recording career) was highlighted. As others have mentioned Skip James was a Baptist preacher, not a professional musician, so aside from the incredible recording he made for Paramount Records in 1931, he wasn't widely sought after as a performer until the blues revival of the late '50s and early '60s
