Son House - Death Letter Blues

what?

they inspired him. all music starts somewhere.

i think you mean country music, which you good ole boys can keep. bbq stain on my white t shirt and all. that shit is a soundtrack to a gay bathhouse.

whatever WHITE PEOPLE INVENTED THE BLUES. YALL NEEDS TA RECOGNIZE !

White Stripes do a fantastic cover, a different style but just as good I think.

Son House singing Death Letter sends chills up and down my spine, every time I hear it. Interesting verse in there about loving four different women; I hadn't heard that one before in this song. Blues slide purists who assiduously avoid knocks and hisses and extraneous noise might disapprove of this style. For me, it adds power and character. Thank you so much for posting this rare and priceless footage.

give me Junior Kimbrough anyday over those guys

NO! It's mine!

it kills me that percussive blues picking is dead the way booker white or son house played really exemplifies that.

robert johnson had to sell his soul to play like that, mr. son house plays the blues WITH his soul.
