SON HOUSE

with AL WILSON (Canned Heat)

A giant of the delta blues, with his ferocious, barking voice, and stabbing bottleneck phrases.

Son House's place, not only in the history of Delta blues, but in the overall history of 

the music, is a very high one indeed. He was a major innovator of the Delta style, 

along with his playing partners Charley Patton and Willie Brown.

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)

This was the first such presentation of a Delta blues musician done by Columbia, 

which seemed like a pretty hip label at the time, since they had both Bob Dylan 

and Paul Revere and the Raiders. The man's picture on the front is mesmerizing, 

in a word; the white shirt, black string tie, and silver steel guitar 

just adding to the excitement. The sound of the metal slide quietly hovering 

over the strings can bring to mind only one thing in the mind of a westerner: 

an angry rattlesnake. And the way many listeners' jaws dropped upon hearing music 

such as this for the first time may not be quite as intense as a hiker's facial 

expression upon encountering such a creature, but it is close enough. 

There is a second blues legend appearing here as well. Guitarist and harmonica player 

Al Wilson was a founding member of Canned Heat, and a musician so good at what he did 

that he became a sterling example of the possibility that young white blues fans 

could actually learn to play this music really well, with intensity. 

The original pressing contains nine tracks, each of them gems...(AllMusic)
