Cover Notes: 'Today!' is Skip James' second album, originally released in 1966. The album features James solo on all but one track, 'How Long', which includes Russ Savakus on bass. This 180-gram LP pressed at QRP includes an obi with notes by Scott Billington, a paper-wrapped jacket and (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab. AllMusic asserts, 'wonderful vocals, superb guitar and a couple of tunes with tasty piano make this essential'.
