The album serves as a follow-up to Dion's 2006 Grammy-nominated blues album, Bronx in Blue.[3] The majority of tracks on Son of Skip James are cover versions of well-known blues songs, some of them classics.[1] The album's title references blues legend Skip James, a friend of Dion's. Dion described the use of James's name for the album as "a kind of mission statement for the project".[4]
