son house

...cats who may not be too familiar with pre-war, specially pre-depression country blues could be in for a bit o' a treat with th' first 7 trx recorded for paramount in 1930 by one o' th' great exponents, eddie son house whose heavy presence comes right down th'years'n into th'room with these tunes...th'sound o' this cat is still unbelievable with his doomed vocal style that not too many have really gotten near without it soundin' real phony...trx8/20 come from th'next decade (41/42)'n show son workin' in slightly more various styles but're still unmistakeable'n would prove to be his last until rediscovery in th' early 60's took him on th'folk'n blues college circuit for a whole new generation who were lookin' for somethin' real after all th'plastic pap they had been force fed...sound quality is better than to be expected none more so than th' earlier sessions as those disks would sound rougher than rough when they were new...this is some o' th'finest sound ever captured by 20th century technology'n it aint ever comin' again, dig while theres time...
