Son House – Raw Delta Blues [2LP Vinyl Set]
Son House was one of the musicians to play a profound role in the development of both successive black and white blues players – legendary figures like Howlin’ Wolf would tip their hats to him and he was a primary influence on Muddy Waters, while the hundreds of white rockers to have acknowledged his importance over the years include the Rolling Stones, Lynryd Skynryd, Bonnie Raitt and Canned Heat. As Muddy Waters so aptly put it, ‘Back where I came from, down in the Delta, Son House was the king!’ Enjoy some of his greatest songs on this 2LP set.
