| | Son House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Son House recorded for Paramount Records in 1930 and for Alan Lomax from the Library of Congress in 1941 and 1942. | | | The music of Son House, in contrast to that of, say, Blind Lemon Jefferson, was emphatically a dance music, meant to be heard in the noisy atmosphere of a barrelhouse or other dance hall. | | | Son's music is the centre of the blues experience and when he performs it is a corporate thing, audience and singer become as one. |

| | Son House |
| | Son House is a startling reminder that less is more, that you can hypnotize and "hit that monkey nerve" when it's just you, a guitar and a listener. | | | Son was wounded in the leg, and shot the man dead. | | | It is criminal that there are so few recordings of Son House, an inspiration for Robert Johnson and those who followed. |

| | Son House recorded both for Paramount and the Library of Congress in the '30s and '40s, mainly for field recording units. | | | Son's first recording session for Paramount in 1930 produced masterpieces considered to be at the summit of country blues recordings. | | | A self taught guitarist, Son House didn't take up the guitar until 1927 or 1928 after he was inspired by the slide guitar work of Willie Wilson. |

| | VH1.com : Son House : Biography |
| | Few listening experiences in the blues are as intense as hearing one of Son House's original 1930s recordings for the Paramount label. | | | As the band laid down long and loose (some tracks went on for over six minutes) versions of their favorite numbers, all that was missing was the guitars being plugged in and a drummer's back beat and you were getting a glimpse of the future of the music. | | | House did some tunes solo, as Lomax asked him to do, but also cut a session backed by a rocking little string band. |

| | Son House - Reviews on RateItAll |
| | House's song ("Death Song" or a title like that) has one of the most terrific, ragged vocals ever. | | | House, who quit music in the early 1930s, was rediscovered thirty years later during the folk music thrust of the 60s, and demonstrated that he was still The Real Deal. | | | I only know of Son House through reputation (inspiration to R.Johnson) and one pretty fantastic song from a "Legends of the Blues" comp CD that Columbia put out several years ago. |

| | Son House |
| | Son moved up North to Rochester, N.Y. in 1943 and worked various jobs until he was tracked down by blues afficianodos Dick Waterman, Nick Perls and Phil Spiro.After the death of his partner Willie Brown, Son had given up the guitar altogether and left the blues life behind. | | | Son's lyrics reflect the stark life he lead. | | | The Paramount records didn't do well (as a result they are some of the rarest Blues 78s) and Son didn't record again until August of 1941, when Alan Lomax made some field recordings of Son and Willie with a small string band. |

But that doesn't stop him and Guy from duetting at the video's close, sitting side by side, House's dobro and Guy's acoustic guitar speaking a language both men understand. | | | The show's split between House performing solo and a young Buddy Guy with his hot Chicago band. |

| | Despite his lofty stature House's recorded output is scanty with sides cut by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress in 1941-1942 and, after a long gap, a full length album for Columbia in 1965. | | | ...Son got out of music, he got away from music totally during the time he was there. | | | Along with Charlie Patton, House was one of the prime exponents of the Delta blues and few recordings match the sheer emotional impact of his first sides cut for Paramount in 1930. |

| | Big Road Blues Discussion Forum - Charlie Patton vs. Son House |
| | House is more accessable because his recordings have better sound quality, and his voice wasn't as rough as Patton's. | | | Son is a darn good blues man and very original in his music, too. | | | Son on the other hand would recycle the same lyrics and stumble over a lot of reused guitar tricks (in his later stuff.) Yes, his intensity was almost always on full. |

| | Trail of the Hellhound: Son House |
| | House's influence on the Delta School of musicians can be judged from a handful of recordings made in Grafton. | | | Lomax returned the next year to record House in Robinsonville, but the musician did not make another commercial record until the "blues revival" of the 1960s. | | | He developed quickly as a guitarist; within a year he had fallen in with Delta musician Rube Lacy and began emulating his slide guitar style. |

| | Son House CD Review |
| | Although he was one of the most popular bluesmen in the Delta, Son House wouldn't record again until 1942 when Alan Lomax taped and Alan Caplin produced him for the Library of Congress on this legendary release, which finds the singer in awesome form. | | | House's slashing slide guitar, dark, moaning vocals and walking bass lines inspired Robert Johnson. | | | After the recording of "Delta Blues," House took a job as a railway porter, moved to Rochester, N.Y., and forgot about music. |

| | He sang at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival, recorded the fitfully powerful "Father Of Folk Blues" and other albums and made two trips to Europe, the second, in 1970, in a condition of advanced frailty. | | | Beside Patton he was a guitarist of rudimentary skill, but his voice had even greater richness, and though his repertoire was not large, it included 'Preachin The Blues', a song that not only was personally important but epitomised a conflict of beliefs experienced by many blues singers. | | | House also recorded for the Library of Congress in 1941-42, the left Mississippi for Rochester, New York, where he spent two decades undisturbed before blues gumshoes knocked on his door. |

| | The structure is derived from typical action-landscapes that develop in a house: a fabric of larger scale bodily movements in a corridor or room, together with smaller scale movements around a sink or a drawer. | | | A sound work, made by composer Edwin van der Heide, is continuously generating new sound patterns activated by sensors picking up actual movements of visitors. | | | This carefully choreographed set of movements of bodies, limbs and hands are inscribed on paper bands as cuts (an uncut area corresponds with the bodily movement, a first cut through the middle corresponds with limbs, and finer cuts correspond with movements of the hands and feet). |
