Our Take

Son House is back with a vengeance in this comprehensive collection of his Library of Congress sessions, plus some bonus tracks thrown in for good measure. From the moment you press play, you're transported back in time to the Mississippi Delta, where House's raw, impassioned vocals and masterful slide guitar playing command your attention. It's clear that this is a musician who has lived and breathed the blues, and it drips from every note he plays. The Library of Congress sessions capture House at his most authentic, with sparse accompaniment that allows his voice to shine through. Tracks like "Preachin' The Blues" and "Death Letter Blues" showcase his incredible range and emotional intensity, while the bonus tracks offer a glimpse into his more upbeat, playful side with songs like "Levee Camp Moan" and "Special Rider Blues." House's influence on the blues and rock'n'roll can't be overstated, and this collection is a testament to his enduring legacy. Whether you're a die-hard blues fan or just dipping your toes into the genre, Son House's Library of Congress sessions are a must-listen. So grab a glass of bourbon, dim the lights, and let yourself be swept away by the one and only Son House.
