Hey kids…this IS …
Hey kids…this IS the best of Son House, he has a limited catalogue because he quit playing music at his peak when his good friends Robert Johnson and Lemon Jefferson died suddenly and very near in time to each other, he thought he was next.If you’re too young to know of original blues artists it’s very worthwhile to educate yourself in the subject and you may discover that much of the music in many genres that followed including what you may listen to,owes a lot to these blues pioneers.

Thanks for posting …
Thanks for posting this. Ricks died in December 2007, Son House in October 1988, and I think this is from 1965. Very powerful. Incredible depth of emotion.

But there is …
But there is someone else is playing over the top of that at the sametime! Watch and listen carefully. Was this how it was originally recorded? With two guitars or has someone overdubbed on to it? Why would someone do that?
