Our Take

Ah, the raw, unfiltered sounds of the Delta blues legend Son House. His haunting vocals and fierce bottleneck guitar playing are on full display in this compilation of his best tracks. From the gritty "Empire State Express" to the soul-stirring "Death Letter Blues," House's music is a captivating journey through the heart of the blues.

Each track on this album is a testament to Son House's powerhouse of a voice and his masterful skills on the guitar. The passion and intensity in his delivery are palpable, transporting the listener to the juke joints and back porches of the Mississippi Delta.

The stripped-down production allows House's raw talent to shine, with every slide of the guitar and every guttural moan resonating deep within the soul. It's no wonder that his music has influenced generations of blues musicians, from Muddy Waters to Robert Johnson.

So, if you're looking for a dose of authentic Delta blues that will transport you to another time and place, look no further than Son House's "Raw Delta Blues Best Of." It's a powerful reminder of the enduring power of the blues and the indelible mark that Son House has left on the genre.

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.
