From his early days as a preacher to his time at Parchman Farm, his friendships with Charley Patton, Willie Brown, and Robert Johnson, his early Paramount recordings, and his remarkable disappearance from music, we follow the story of a man whose music nearly vanished before he was rediscovered during the blues revival of the 1960s. We'll talk about the raw intensity of House's guitar and voice, his influence on generations of musicians, and the incredible journey that took him from the Mississippi Delta to becoming a living link to the earliest days of the blues. 🎵 Song List My Black Mama, Part 1 – Son House Preachin' Blues – Son House Louise McGhee – Son House County Farm Blues – Son House John the Revelator – Son House Walking Blues – Son House Grinnin' in Your Face – Son House Levee Camp Moan – Son House Empire State Express – Son House Death Letter – Son House Another ride through the people, stories, and music that built the blues.
