My very favorite Delta Blues musician - THIS is my favorite recording (early 1940s by Library of Commerce/Lomax)- they got paid with a Coke - first time I heard Son House playing with his 'band' of friends - in the back of the Clack grocery store - Original wooden sign's in the Delta Blues Museum  =)

Haha, You dog.

@nicodagger Patton, Tommy Johnson, Willie Brown, Ishman Bracey were original Delta greats - Son was among them, but it was his style that is most resonated in the music of Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters (no pun intended)

@nicodagger I can only think of one older delta blues artist and that's Charlie Patton. The thing is there could be more blues musicians famous at the time but were not recorded and whose names are lost to history, so all we have left is the tradition of those songs e.g John the Revelatour , Black Betty to name a few.

Is son House considered the first of the great Delta blues artists?

@Odin029 Thank You I'll try that.

@whitecranecanada I think this song's in B so I think the easiest would be to tune to open A and capo at the second fret instead of 4th on open G
