This is a short interview of SON HOUSE speaking about what the blues REALLY means to him.
He was very opinionated when it came to what he deemed to be real blues. He was quite critical of young blues players taking their "Jump" music and adding the blues on the title. His Blues was the REAL Blues, raw and from the heart, there's not a fancy backing band that accompanies Son House in most of his songs, just him, his guitar and a whole lot of grief.
Is there a full video of the version of death letter blues in the end? :)
