Eddie James "Son" House, Jr. (March 21, 1902 - October 19, 1988) was an American blues singer and guitarist. House pioneered an innovative style featuring strong, repetitive rhythms, often played with the aid of slide guitar, and his singing often incorporated elements of southern gospel and spiritual music.
House was an important influence on Muddy Waters and also on Robert Johnson. A seminal Delta blues figure, he remains influential today, with his music being covered by blues-rock groups such as The White Stripes.

@jorge772098 The comtemporary musicians owe their influences? No, obviously Jack and Kurt appreciated their music and that's enough payment. Just because you overlook music doesn't mean it wasn't important to other people.

I want to hear this performed EXACTLY like this for tv show audition. I want the judges to beg that soul to work for them. And i want to watch him reject those sad fucks and take it to the streets. Reject false icons. Love the blues.
