The blues invigorated American popular music with African musical techniques and values -- and rock and roll and jazz were born. By Debra Devi, Contributor 6:09 [HuffPost]
Son House never stopped preaching - God took his talent and put it together with his Gospel and Son preached to the world and even now His Voice is still Calling out to the people of this world through His Son House - Son is no longer with us but the Truth will never die
Amazed doesn't even begin to describe...Gobsmacked perhaps. Known about Son House for years but never really listened to this style...came back here via Alan Wilson & Canned Heat. I'm jaw-dropped at this, just wonderful.
Words of wisdom from the master. Nobody does it like this today. All we have is posers and wanna be's with a pretty face and little talent. Nobody writes music or lyrics like this today. Nobody. Thanks for posting this masterpiece of magnificence. Blew me out the door.
sorry but son house is mystical prowess i mean no...nobody does it like him, young white boys like myself can only but respect the original source, modern artists eat shit compared to this devotion
this thing never gets old... "nobody can be like ye elder ones. today's boys suck... blablabla". you will find this shit in all old blues videos. mostly used by spineless cucks.
I hard heard songs by him, certainly, on several records; however this is the first time I've seen him. These were the real men... Blessed be he, eternally
Astonished and amazed at this masterpiece.. My gosh that's the real man , Son House is the real king of Blues , early teacher major influence on Robert Johnson.
With "Death Letter," I'm getting both arms with the hairs standing up straight. That voice! There's a reason why Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote "Swamp Music" as a tribute to Son's amazing voice.
I saw a bluesdocument few year ago, and I fell in love with Son House then. I've been searching videos of him all over youtube. Now I found this. He is a amazing man! Love him!
I agree. I've never heard of Son House until I landed at The Blues Hall of Fame, earlier this year. I took a photo of his entry, my life has never been the same since. it's all I listen too.....genius is here.
Stories are our doors to the past... without them.. our past disappears forever.. Like this video audio... is with us forever now... without it.. it doesn't exist ! I just never get enough of these stories... Thank you for posting... History... Music... Life... it's what those of us that know.. live for !
two amazing pieces of music I've come across tonight/today thanks for the wolf and son house. Blind Willie Johnson (John the Revelator) and Blind Willie Mctell with them
This is just incredible honestly, Im only 18 now but blues is probably my second favorite genre after Rock, I'm surprised I never heard of him before untiul now! One of the best raw blues artists
This is a very powerful and sacred piece of film recording. America was built on guys like this, borderline insanity, if not, insane, and if it were not for God, Son House would have been a lunatic. It is impossible to destroy him, impossible, no matter how hard they try. When I'm feeling really down, I listen to what he says, and it restores me.
When I hear/see this I become even more a believer in music!! Son of House beyond blues and soul into the bone!! Fantastic!!! When is it recorded ? Peet the Swede
Yes!!! The gasping for air during "Death Letter" and the utter look of exhaustion at the end of the song. He was definitely wrestling with something...
How many unrecorded blues men n women from the 20s 30s... This is a glimpse in to the shit that was common place in them days.. The field recordings made on cylinders in the 1890s etc onwards in the Congress and British library document a small section of these Shakespeare and Picasso and Shelley music aqiuvalents Aamen
Absolutely mesmerizing. He makes you really want to believe in God because he believes enough for 1000 people. If John the Revelator doesn't send a chill up your spine, you're a corpse.
Ok, I get why Clapton prefers Johnson. I think I am more of a Son House guy tho, Robert had some intricate stuff going on. When you listen to this, I think the lineage breaks better for Son House to be Grand Supreme Godfather of our blessed rock music. Mr. House is very Soulful. Robert aquired elite chops, but Son House has got him on Soul. I started rocking to Son. I never got that same feeling with Robert. I guess Clapton will never say 'hello' to me on the street, lol. In Robert's defense we have no moving images like this. I love them both. BTW, I hope you all aint buying into the crossroads lore. The man had some goals, and practiced and experimeted his butt off 24/7. Much was honed in front of people, he had no fear. Fear is what stifled any potential I had.....it wasnt guitar tho. The strings on Son's National Resonator sound a little dead. But back then, who in the south changed strings often? Most folks, both white and black & most that lived in the Delta region, couldnt just blow cash on strings. Now here is my strangest statement regarding lineage. Son House = Zep, Stones, Beatles. Robt Johnson = STP, U2, AIC, Pearl Jam, Zappa
Who cares what Clapton thinks, or any other artist for that matter. They share neither context nor experience with this individual and his perspective.
I am mainly an electric blues/blues rock player. I kept trying to learn Robert Johnson, but something didn't click with the rhythm/songs/timing for me. And I have to be able to enjoy it. I always played with a pic but started teaching myself open hand playing about three months ago. And I am a thrasher, an attacker. I've been loving it. I'd always heard the Son House name but had never heard a song or watched a video. Holy crap, I stumbled on him today and this guy is whapping that guitar like I do with his right hand, and I can groove to his songs, more than I could Robert Johnson. On top of that, my Resonator I bought this week looks exactly like his.
@@jackssmirkingrevenge9365 Son house is good and intense, but still i have yet to really hear any blues match this in terms of rawness: ruclips.net/video/oXPw09xPcTg/видео.html
America is fortunate that such a singer walked its land. His voice literally breaks because he feels that pain that he is expressing. I had to look at the lyrics to understand him but really , his voice transfixes anyone who listens. Respect from India !
This shuold be taught in schools not in music class...but in history class .It gives insight about life in general and history and music in particular.
This is incredible he is so soft spoken and gentle until he starts playing, he is really channeling that music in a shamanic way. This is very special indeed.
a honest man, very poor ( he never became a rich man with these records), true singer of the human pain and suffering , he was a saint of the blues music ...
He worked on the railway, a job, like most other struggling working class people. A Proletarian, a hero like all the rest. Some day, they'll inherit the earth, like they should do.
You can also not hold either. You can also choose NOT to play the game. Good, bad. Black, white. Jesus, devil. Yin, yang. Humans are hardly ever that black and white but full of grey... Fortunately
@shadow run Well, the Christian message is that there's a narrow path to salvation and many will fall short of grace. or something. So it all gets accounted in the end and each transgression has a just punishment.
I just recently discovered him at a African American music historical museum in Nashville, TN when I saw him I immediately had chills. He looks identical to my grandfather and his brothers. I believe he is a ancestor of mines. ♥️ I feel blessed to experience these live performances of him. Blessing on to him ♥️
BROOO GET YOUR DNA TESTED ASAP! THAT WOULD BE SERIOUSLY COOL. BUT EVEN IF YOU AREN’T RELATED, IT’S STILL SO COOL THAT YOU DISCOVERED HIM IN THAT WAY. YOU ARE BLESSED FOR SURE!
@@mixmastercj100 yeah definitely! If I could upload a photo of my grandfather in the comments it would seriously blow everyone’s mind the resemblance lol 😂 Thank you for the kind words ♥️ and I’m on my journey of discovery my family tree so I’m going to check into it for sure.
I saw Son House a number of times at the Club 47 in Cambridge in the early or mid 60's. He was an other-worldly figure. Son House, Willie Brown and Robert Johnson were three friends, legendary blues men who gave us so much. I was a really lucky young person to see Son up a close in person.
Something I only found out recently was that Howlin’ Wolf was playing around the same area at the same time and knew those guys too, when he was still cutting his teeth before he made it big in Chicago. Found that fascinating, there is some cool interviews where he talks about it

I got tears in my eyes watching this! That man was awesome, and his preaching was just the greatest while also playing that awesome music of his!
Thank you so much for putting this on YT. This deserves to survive the human race.
I feel his music in my soul. This gentleman was truly, a gift from God.
I feel privileged to have seen Son House in performance in Detroit in the mid-'60s.

Son House is the real deal. He is a musical genius, a raw, yet elegant voice of the blues, and life.

Thank you ,
With all the going’s on these days
The blues are still the core of it .
JAMES SON HOUSE May he Rest In Peace.
what incredible soul and spirit..absolutely stops me in my tracks...the 24 dislikes must be from Bieber fans.
I disliked but I'm not a Bieber fan
Lol I'm just kidding
I am a Bieber fan

Love Canned Heat! Owl Wilson has been a musical idol of mine for years.
Words of wisdom from the master. Nobody does it like this today. All we have is posers and wanna be's with a pretty face and little talent. Nobody writes music or lyrics like this today. Nobody. Thanks for posting this masterpiece of magnificence. Blew me out the door.

nope, you're just being ignorant and can't be bothered finding modern artists

Son House was a big. The great blues tradition.

Soulful Blues!!
GOAT no question!!🌞🏠
I'm skin pigmentation colour blind
but found this savant delivery heartbreaking (literary crying)
suffering is both subjective & objective
He always looks like he's wrestling, man-handling his guitar.
Yes!!! The gasping for air during "Death Letter" and the utter look of exhaustion at the end of the song. He was definitely wrestling with something...
You gotta pick a fight with it.. something as real and raw as this, is never the same thing twice
