'Walking Blues' SON HOUSE (1941) Delta Blues Guitar Legend

[boomhauer15]

got some lines from "preachin' blues" by robert johnson, "the blues ain't nothin but a low down shakin chill, if you ain't never had 'em hope you never will"

Taj Mahal does a cool version of this song. Love Son House though.

I read a book by Alan Lomax (who recorded this) and in it he said this song is the single greatest thing he ever recorded. If I remember right, moments after they ended this song, Son House's boss drove up and chewed him out for meeting with someone on his plantation without his permission. Now THAT is the blues.

'The blues aint nothing but a lowdown shaking chill

If you aint had ‘em I hope you never will

Oh, the blues is a lowdown old aching chill

If you aint had ‘em boys, I- I hope you never will'

@RollerGirlMeli

sounds more like Robert Johnson; maybe I'm not listening to this piece close enough(to the lyrics); then again, you know Robert Johnson got his walking blues from Son House!

Is this release but the 1930s recording,cut (well) short ?

Love this short version,though some great verses are omitted.

Regards

Son House w. Willie Brown - recorded at the Clack Grocery Store - they were 'paid' in a soda - Willie grabbed it, Son got zero. - The Clack sign is now in the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Ms. - the store was razed - there's now a highway there. - I still like THIS version more than the l930 one.

My God, look at that face and those hands. Listen to that voice and playing. The blues can be no more authentic than that.
