Son House, Recorded in 1942 by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress. The record titles it as Walking Blues, but as you can tell the lyrics eventually made up the bulk of 'Death Letter Blues'.

What year did Death Letter come out in?

Vinyl has a MUCH broader range of sound frequencies than CDs or MP3s.

Anyway, Son sang from the heart, he wrote lyrics down but most of it came from what he was feeling man, he shares lyrics in his songs because in the end they all tell his story.

@UJS8X that's why there are uncompressed file formats like flac. But the vinyl is cooler and it's not digital.
