He recorded another version of it in 41, with accompanment. But this is his recording and lyrics before Robert Johnston's in 36' with a few different lyrics

That may be true (I don't think it is) and I've heard Son House do a version of Walking Blues, but this isn't it. This is unmistakably Robert Johnson.
Where the heck did you guys learn to play the blues? Amsterdam?

@Jayel805 - yes, it is Son House. I know it might be hard to tell. If anything, it sounds like Charley Patton. But Son definitely had a 78 release called Walking Blues in 1930. Robert Johnson took the title and one of son's verses and created his own version 6 years later.

This is definitely not Son House. No way you can know about the blues and mistake Robert Johnson for Son House.

This vocal makes your hair stand up. Amazing.

I actually like the 1941 version, from The Clack Store - Son plays with his buddies
