Son House was opinionated because, probably more than any other man, he EMBODIED the blues.
Looks, voice, and that legendary guitar attack style.
Hell, he even shot a man in self defense, spent time in prison, was a preacher, then disappeared for over twenty years mainly out of fear because his friends Charley Patton and Robert Johnson suddenly died.
His is a story that is nearly impossible to believe if it weren't so well documented.
There is something so mystical about his raw brand of music.

You can read all about it on allmusic.com.
To this day, he is spoken of in reverential tones.
A true giant of his craft.

Man, I so agree with Son on this. Ain't much can give you the blues like your women dogging you around. Son was the embodiment of the blues, period.
