Is this in English?

[dogico]

Son House is the man who first peaked my interest in the blues (well technically it was Mississippi Fred but I digress), and years later he's still my favorite.

Son House was living in Lula in 1930 and composed this song about the town's severe dry spell...

So dry old boll weevil turn up his toes and die

No, ain't nothing to do --bootleg moonshine and rye.

[leoyanas]

that's passion and soul. This is the blues. What a voice.
