One of the best things I've ever seen.

so blessed to have this much live footage of son house on youtube, purest rawest blues there is

What program is this from? And does anyone know when it was recorded? Edit: never mind, it says at the beginning: March of 1968

Ah god dang it, the humanity in this.

Now tat is real blues .

Well I'll be damned - Haven't seen that recording Where ever that man performed, a piece of his soul must still be lingering - He poured it all out.

That was the Americans that could be saved. What happened? He tells the scary truth and it heals our souls. I'm sorry I love American culture but I hate industry

Son House > Muddy Waters > Jimmi Hendrix

Music is all about expression and there's nothing more expressive than the Delta Blues and no Delta Blues more expressive than Son House and Death Letter Blues.

Chilling just chilling

E.V.E.R AND FOREVER ❤️❤️❤️

just love this guy,rip bro

The good side of KZbin is looking good:)

Pre-War Blues is the main go-to:)

wow

Pure, distilled and aged blues.

Mesmerizing.

"You know I ain't never loved but four women in my life...my mother...my sister...my dead gal and my wife." The greatest one line ever written, no teeth, tuning optional. To quote Sam Philips, "Perfect imperfection." Welcome to the blues boys and girls.

WOW !!! 😵‍💫<---------🥊🎶

My goodness. This version is even more heartbreaking. Son House was so theatrical. He starts this version singing in the third person, before finally, after the funeral we hear him sing in the first person and realise that the heart-broken protagonist of the story was him all along. Possibly denoting that the protagonist could not deal with the amount of raw emotion and thus had to sing as if the tragic events happened to someone else 💔 A masterclass in storytelling right there.

Nobody sang like Son House...sooo much feeling! Love it!!!!

I like son house, but I rather be Just "in" beaver...if you know what I mean!

Immortal

The way he utilize the whole guitar while playing is remarkable

"I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around " that lyric hasn't left me yet years

He was brilliant brilliant and still yet his Blues.I never heard such a great legend who plays like this way,

The eleven thumbs down know nothing about the blues and have obviously never faced the death of a wife like i did

Love all the old black blues guitarists they had an edge and a certain class and style you do not see today. You can keep all those bullshit 200 notes a second technical shredders. Give me son playing straight from the heart. Anytime

LIKE JOHÄN SEBASTIAN BACH. A FUCKING GENIUS.

Epic in every way.

Such energy and vigor. Breathing the blues.

Son house fue uno de los pioneros del blues rural

gorgeous. More intense than Robert Johnson, in my opinion

First saw this clip on Music Central 96 from Microsoft, but that was totally low-res video, so I had no idea where he got that pounding downbeat rhythm, or his fast slide vibrato on the fretboard, until I saw the full thing right here on KZbin. And my jaw just DROPPED.

There is more soul in that first note than some musicians entire discographies.

Him doing the drumming rhythm like a heartbeat to his sick guitar playing is so captivating. I will always come back to this song

Some spirit moves son house.

One of the kewlest songs I've ever heard.

5 thumbs down?....disgusting

I bought my first Son House recording 1980, along with a Rev Gary Davies LP. The record shop in Manchester would let you play the stuff before you bought it. The guy was a mine of info about the blues. Great days!

the blues makes you cry in 2020 ! Cya in the judgement day Mr House !

Lord Jeesus that was strong!!

More than music...this is a religious experience

Rip Mr House

Son House in color. A legend of the blues.
