My my, what a bunch of race-baiting whiners on this thread! What's the matter? Do you need someone else to blame for your inconsequential little existence? I could have sworn it was just a video of a man playing a song. Or do you even recall why you clicked on it in the first place?
@diggyu You sir, seem to be a very grumpy, opinionated racist. Before you go pointing fingers at an ENTIRE race for allegedly "stealing" music that originated with black people, know that we are all allowed to enjoy the music we choose. Music can't be divided like race was, otherwise white people would be stuck with cheesy 90's synth pop like depeche mode (no offense depeche mode)
He puts so much more feeling into this version than what his known albums play. I think this version is better (At least i don't think any albums have it...).
A metric ton of thanx a respect to the person who posted this video. Son House had a gift in creating this beautiful expression of emotion. You would be hard put to find that in today's music.
This man is from my hometown of Rochester, NY. Lived just across the river. And he tutored John Mooney, another local boy who made good in blues music.
@32646286 One of them is definitely "my wife." The other line has been the subject of much discussion in these comments. Leading theories are "kin gal," "kid gal" and "dead gal." Check out the comments from about a year ago for detailed discussion of this.
@32646286 his mother, his sister and wife for sure. I think hes saying "kid gal", im pretty sure. But "kin gal" is possible. I dont hear "dead" at all
You can feel the pain in every strum of the guitar and note of his singing. This is a perfect song and know it will live forever. Show this song to everybody you know, this is a song everybody should hear once in their life.
arguing on the internet it like the special olympics; no matter who wins, your still retarted, but especially @diggyu. put that in your juice box and SUCK IT!!!!
@towcar68 actually if you bothered to look into it a bit more you can see that Alex Gram Bell wrote several letters thanking an african Canadian man for coming up with the original idea, there is also a similar story with the lightbulb
@Nick4563880 Yeah I heard an Canadian man helped with the idea, I didn't know he was african too. haha btw I just wanted to mess with diggyu, he's annoying and pushing his buttons makes me feel better inside :)
@diggyu what the fuck is wrong with you? White people didn't "steal" anyones music, music is for anyone who enjoys it. White people wanted to ba a part of "your" music not steal it. Copying is the ultimate form of flattery.
The comments on this are ridiculous.White people didn't "steal" blues. If your gonna be so pissed and racist, play some blues yourself take it back from the evil, devil worshiping, white men!
@diggyu Just to add in my two sense, you degrade society. Lets hope your influence is limited. And if you TRULY feel "white people" should give back the blues, then I wish you give back all the things you "stole" from the us. Such as the vehicles, we invented those, the telephone too, the lightbulb, computers, hell the list goes on. These things are apart of our heritage, and if you wish for the blues to be "returned", rid yourself of our stuff. Thank you
@towcar68 here are some thing you forgot white people invented the atom bomb , the hydrogen bomb, the machine gun, ICBM, the tank, poison gas, repeating rifle, the taser gun, surveillance cameras and satellites, the phone tap, global warming, over fishing, nuclear waste, strip mining, capitalism, the gas chamber , the electric chair, lethal injection, cluster bombs, JDAMS, Tomahawk missiles, the world would like to rid itself of this crap white people invented thank you bitch.
@diggyu i cant believe you are spitting this bullshit fucking hate speech on a video like this, son house surely wouldnt approve, you should probably shut the fuck up with your ignorance, black white asian, who the fuck cares, i swear this would be a better world if everyone was colorblind
My point was for everyone who thinks these blues guys from back in the day when racism was the rule in the USA not the exception would be sitting next to punk ass jack white on the same stage smiling is complete bullshit now if it was a young Keb Mo yeah, you act like we are just so cool with giving our heritage away to the next white guy that shows up as if it just gives our hearts joy to get ripped by white people, we cant even have our own damn music without the white man stealing that.
@diggyu hey man I can appreciate that you and others want certain things of african amercan culture to remain unique and to only be represented by those of african american deccent but I would like to point out that you're been completly racist. You have your reasons and that I can appreciate, I say appreciate because I can not understand what is like for african americans as I am not american. I am Australian and our identity is one of our most sensitve topics also
I really pity my generation who turned their backs on good music, because this is honestly 100 times better than the music that is "main stream" today
@jacksondemarre i don't know if its easy to play. i am guitar player. i am actually a jazzer. play all these complex harmony. improvising over complex chord changes with complex scales etc....sometimes i listen to tapes from back in the days where i played blues. real blues....i am technically much more advanced now...i know everything about music theory....but i cannot play the blues anymore like back in these days. fakk i played the blues sooo well sooo bluesy...nowadays i think too much.
to me blues is like beethoven. it is exactly the same! i so much can feel that! the mood is different....but you can feel both shit sooo strong!!! ya know wad i meen?
@SethRasporich agreed the digital and sampling took over young brothers minds to the point that is all they wanted to use i call it taking the easy way out.
Hey, can someone put up a tab for the main riff, I can't figure it out. I got one similar in standard tuning, but in open g I'm lost, and naturally the slide sounds horrible in standard
I was born in 1989. The more I listen to this song the more I feel like this style of guitar was the greatest application of the guitar. I've been religiously trying to learn delta blues style guitar so if anyone knows any good youtube videos to learn how to play this type of music please let me know.
Very old classic blues, also Jack White's favorite song that got him started on his career. I love White's stuff because he did study with the masters of blues & guitar, always humble & willing to learn something new, he's an amazing artist & one of the reasons is these influences such as this blues song.
you know what makes blues so amazing? the pure soul that every great blues artist has, i mean when they sing you hear the pain but you also hear that sense of hope
@kirkhammett110919901 I tried this stuff without a pic. It hurts like all sin (and I bled a little, don't have resonator strings), but when you get callouses it's fine.
Funny how forums turn into vitriol and obscenity behind just watching a master that can reach from the grave and set us straight..
Listen to Sun House and you are channeling the guy that gave us Robert Johnson and all the greats like Muddy Waters that got 5 watt fender amps. No one pretends to scare you like only Sun House can..
I found out about Son House from reading the liner notes of a Muddy Waters cd. And unlike a lot of folks I found out about the White Stripes from searching for info on Death Letter from Altavista(shows how long ago that was) and I kept seeing White Stipes pop up on the screen. Annoyed I finally clicked and thank God. I heard Jack's version of Death Letter and ended up buying the entire album the next day. I don't know what the argument is. This is a large part of Jack White's musical foundation
@MrBRUCELEE98 Well Put!!! All these celebrities with record deals who sound like shit are rich as hell. They need to put that shit in the economy so the poor get some fair treatment for once. Real music doesn't equal money or weeks on a chart. Music equals what comes from the heart.
@MrBRUCELEE98 i don't like it. i listen to them, see what they're like and i don't like them. i actually hate them. but i don't go out of my way to disrespect them because i don't like them...
@Nayelle1290 They were awesome indeed. In my opinion African Americans have the richest culture and funnest worth looking into. When i moved from Brazil here i found other cultures to be copies or stale. But this is so full of flavor and "soul" :).
@Nayelle1290 yeah its african american, and its gold... cant believe how your people still get lynched, not in a direct way but in a indirect way... like georgia, but still america has major problems to take action against.. not just the racism but the war crimes you conduct in iraq, afghanistan and all of middle america from 1900 to this date
@Nayelle1290 not trying to undermine your comment but blues isnt just african american , it started as a mix between african and anglo-celtic folk music
@lgmk55 Untrue. Blues Started as Black slavery songs.. Negro Spirituals....? Ever here of them? The slurring sound of original Blues is due to the Same sounds in African ritual music.
We were beaten if we’d say the language or Words But we could STILL move the riffs. :) I Love Black people.
BTW, African Americans are the Africans who JUST arrived her, NOT The Black people who helped…, MADE, America what it is today.
@GWoification are you retarded , did i just state that any of what you said is wrong , i just said i think people should know that blues and jazz and other genres were formed because of the amount of mixing cultures in america and while african music was probably the major factor in this , other cultures music were mixed in too , boy
@lgmk55 Nope I am not , however, I am beginning to realize that I May be speaking to one who Is. ;] Your statement, is clearly posted, :
"@Nayelle1290 not trying to undermine your comment but blues isnt just african american , it started as a mix between african and anglo-celtic folk music"
{Note YOU Used the word, ”STARTED”, this Is the operative word}, as a mix..yadda~~"
@lgmk55 Nope I am not , however, I am beginning to realize that I May be speaking to one who Is. ;] Your statement, is clearly posted, :
"@Nayelle1290 not trying to undermine your comment but blues isnt just african american , it started as a mix between african and anglo-celtic folk music"
{Note YOU Used the word, ”STARTED”, this Is the operative word}, as a mix..yadda~~"
@lgmk55 ....so...? yeah...? READ! I Taught you Where it Started, as an ALL "Black thing" Your submission is explaining the reverse. ...That’s Why it is Not a true statement.
If you wrote some other statemen previously, well I wasn’t interested enough to check for other comments.. *smh* …moot point, at any rate because these words recant any other statement of the opposite nature.....
...Again, Blues inception was Slaves lamented songs, sang in the same ingrained "accents", if you will, of their African backgrounds And their Forced ignorance.
That's the “cool”, “new” sound others could hear.
Btw, I'd refrain from attempting to insult one, such as myself, :) Sweetly stating your position is Always the best bet.
What's wrong with society today, listening to autotuned voices, played on computer generated beats. Whatever happened to real music? Like this, I'm only 13 and this is the music I listen to, not Justin Bieber, or any hip-hop shit like that. And i know girls ho listen to this too at my age. Sadly nough, no one does know what music is anymore.
@DJDFTDAV Nobody cares how old you are. Like it's so spectacular that you're 13 and you're watching this. Good music is good music, people of all ages should listen to it. Throwing your age out there like somebody's supposed to be impressed it pretty immature. It doesn't matter how old you are.
Not everyone is ready to hear Son House. They gotta start with something lighter. If Jack White respectfully points some listeners in the direction of Son House with his music it's alright with me.
I don't think you need to look down your nose at Jack White in order to love this music. It was a different age, and Son House is far too good to need the snobbery.

I found out about Son House from reading the liner notes of a Muddy Waters cd. And unlike a lot of folks I found out about the White Stripes from searching for info on Death Letter from Altavista(shows how long ago that was) and I kept seeing White Stipes pop up on the screen. Annoyed I finally clicked and thank God. I heard Jack's version of Death Letter and ended up buying the entire album the next day. I don't know what the argument is. This is a large part of Jack White's musical foundation

@MrBRUCELEE98 Well Put!!! All these celebrities with record deals who sound like shit are rich as hell. They need to put that shit in the economy so the poor get some fair treatment for once. Real music doesn't equal money or weeks on a chart. Music equals what comes from the heart.

@Nayelle1290 They were awesome indeed. In my opinion African Americans have the richest culture and funnest worth looking into. When i moved from Brazil here i found other cultures to be copies or stale. But this is so full of flavor and "soul" :).

@Nayelle1290 yeah its african american, and its gold... cant believe how your people still get lynched, not in a direct way but in a indirect way... like georgia, but still america has major problems to take action against.. not just the racism but the war crimes you conduct in iraq, afghanistan and all of middle america from 1900 to this date

@Nayelle1290 not trying to undermine your comment but blues isnt just african american , it started as a mix between african and anglo-celtic folk music

@lgmk55 Untrue. Blues Started as Black slavery songs.. Negro Spirituals....? Ever here of them? The slurring sound of original Blues is due to the Same sounds in African ritual music.
We were beaten if we’d say the language or Words But we could STILL move the riffs. :) I Love Black people.
BTW, African Americans are the Africans who JUST arrived her, NOT The Black people who helped…, MADE, America what it is today.

@GWoification are you retarded , did i just state that any of what you said is wrong , i just said i think people should know that blues and jazz and other genres were formed because of the amount of mixing cultures in america and while african music was probably the major factor in this , other cultures music were mixed in too , boy

@lgmk55 ....so...? yeah...? READ! I Taught you Where it Started, as an ALL "Black thing" Your submission is explaining the reverse. ...That’s Why it is Not a true statement.
If you wrote some other statemen previously, well I wasn’t interested enough to check for other comments.. *smh* …moot point, at any rate because these words recant any other statement of the opposite nature.....

...Again, Blues inception was Slaves lamented songs, sang in the same ingrained "accents", if you will, of their African backgrounds And their Forced ignorance.
That's the “cool”, “new” sound others could hear.
Btw, I'd refrain from attempting to insult one, such as myself, :) Sweetly stating your position is Always the best bet.

What's wrong with society today, listening to autotuned voices, played on computer generated beats. Whatever happened to real music? Like this, I'm only 13 and this is the music I listen to, not Justin Bieber, or any hip-hop shit like that. And i know girls ho listen to this too at my age. Sadly nough, no one does know what music is anymore.

@DJDFTDAV Nobody cares how old you are. Like it's so spectacular that you're 13 and you're watching this. Good music is good music, people of all ages should listen to it. Throwing your age out there like somebody's supposed to be impressed it pretty immature. It doesn't matter how old you are.

Not everyone is ready to hear Son House. They gotta start with something lighter. If Jack White respectfully points some listeners in the direction of Son House with his music it's alright with me.

I don't think you need to look down your nose at Jack White in order to love this music. It was a different age, and Son House is far too good to need the snobbery.
