Our Take

SON HOUSE Raw Delta Blues

Son House's latest album, "Raw Delta Blues," is a thrilling journey back to the roots of American music. With his gravelly voice and expert guitar playing, House delivers raw, unfiltered blues that will leave you tapping your toes and craving a shot of moonshine.

The opening track, "Grinnin' in Your Face," sets the tone for the album with its haunting vocals and hypnotic strumming. House's storytelling ability shines through on tracks like "Death Letter Blues," where he chillingly sings about lost love and impending doom.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Preachin' Blues," a rollicking tune that will have you stomping your feet and clapping your hands. House's energy is infectious, and it's clear that he is truly in his element when performing these timeless classics.

While some may find the stripped-down production of "Raw Delta Blues" a bit jarring at first, it ultimately adds to the album's authenticity and charm. This is music meant to be heard in a smoky juke joint, not a polished concert hall.

In conclusion, Son House's "Raw Delta Blues" is a must-listen for any fan of authentic, gut-wrenching blues music. So grab a bottle of whiskey, put on your dancing shoes, and prepare to be transported to the Delta with one of the genre's true legends. Cheers to Son House and his timeless tunes.

About the artist

Son House

SON HOUSE: The Uncompromising King of Delta Blues With a voice that cuts through the air like a hot knife through butter, Son House is the epitome of raw, unfiltered blues. Born in Mississippi in 1902, he is a living legend in the world of Delta blues, known for his powerful vocals and slide guitar prowess. House's music is a testament to the struggles and triumphs of the African American experience in the Jim Crow South. His lyrics are a reflection of the pain and hardship he endured, as well as his resilience and tenacity in the face of adversity. Listening to Son House is like taking a journey back in time to the smoky juke joints of the Deep South, where the music is as soul-stirring as a shot of whiskey on a cold winter's night. His songs are a powerful reminder of the power of music to transcend boundaries and bring people together, no matter their background or beliefs. Despite his tumultuous personal life and struggles with alcoholism, Son House's music continues to inspire a new generation of blues artists, from Robert Johnson to Eric Clapton. His influence can be heard in the soulful wail of modern blues singers and the fiery guitar solos of rock and roll legends. So, if you're in the mood for some gritty, gut-wrenching blues that will make your heart ache and your soul soar, put on a Son House record and let the music take you on a journey through the heart of the Delta. You won't be disappointed.
