Son House - The Original Delta Blues album flac

The biggest surprise was Son House, in 1964 – it was actually the third time he’d been rediscovered! First recorded in 1930, House found music a hard life and became a laborer; Alan Lomax found him in Mississippi and recorded five titles. Lomax returned the following year ; this time Son is alone and has some new songs, including a blues for World War II. The sound startles: you can almost see the past, and the sharp ring of the National Steel. The songs seem unearthed, new and heartfelt as the blues itself. It’s a potent brew, with the passage of time making it only stronger. With "Delta Blues" we get a duet: Williams shouts and Son gets busy. An apparent miscue is fixed with a new rhythm part, seemingly spur of the moment. He floats big loping notes on the solo; Williams lurches in fevered response. A great effort; the session may be over but, as it turned out, Son House had only begun to play.

These are blues in the original Delta style, vocal and guitar, using what is often referred to as a bottleneck guitar, in this case a steel-bodied National guitar for when the recordings were produced. These 11 songs by Son House (Eddie J. House, J. were recorded later in his life in the 1960s long after he left Mississippi to move to New York State (his original recordings were in the 1930s, or the 1940 Library of Congress collection). His music was part of the foundation of the blues, and he still had style in the 1960s.

After being rediscovered by the folk-blues community in the early '60s, Son House rose to the occasion and recorded this magnificent set of performances. Allowed to stretch out past the shorter running time of the original 78s, House turns in wonderful, steaming performances of some of his best-known material.

Columbia/Legacy's The Original Delta Blues is a fine distillation of the label's double-disc set Father of the Delta Blues, containing 16 highlights from that comprehensive overview of his '60s rediscovery recordings.
