its the delta blues for a reason u think this man truly knew were double drop d is (delta blues tuning)by ear at this point that guitar is nothing but a metronome to his voice and soul
this is soul crippling - the hair on my forearms stands on end - I'm sorry, but middle class white people can't do this - they just cant. They try and try - but no cry. no cry. The stories and rhythms of late southern 1800's and early 1900's are entertaining to me, but at the expense of people who were dealt an unfair deal - actually no deal at all - because in a deal, there is usually some form of negotiation.
God bless Son House because he makes me feel human to the bone.
I'm !7 And Have Been Listening To Loads Of 'Modern' Blues Bands From The 60's Such As Canned Heat And Some Fleetwood Mac Albums And So On And Have Recentley Discovered Real Blues Such As Son House, Henry Thomas And Robert Johnson And I Am Loving Every Second Of It!

I adore Son House and especially this song - but he could have tuned the guitar better.... sigh

I'm sorry I haven't any more of this. Thanks for the info I was not aware of two other songs for this session.

Thanks for posting. I've seen the other two from this session but never this before!
Do you have any others or did he just do 3 songs?
