Son House was an American blues singer and guitarist, born on March 21, 1902 in Riverton, Mississippi. He is known for pioneering an innovative style of blues music that featured strong, repetitive rhythms played with the aid of slide guitar. His singing often incorporated elements of southern gospel and spiritual music.

Throughout his career, Son House influenced many other artists with his unique sound. Some similar performers include *Lightnin' Hopkins*, *Blind Willie Johnson*, *Skip James*, *Charley Patton*, *Blind Willie McTell*, and *Mississippi John Hurt*.

Son House's contribution to the blues genre cannot be overstated. His powerful vocals and distinctive guitar playing continue to inspire musicians today. He passed away on October 19, 1988 in Detroit, Michigan.

The first 19 tracks of this CD were originally released on CD in 1990 by Travelin' Man records a label of Interstate Music Ltd. The material has been out of circulation for some time now and is long overdue for another reissue in the CD format. In addition there are 3 bonus tracks from Son House's original 1930 recording sessions for Paramount Records.

Many have said that these performances for Alan Lomax are amongst his finest, displaying as they do, how brilliantly original and creative an artist he was. It is great to be able to have these classic recordings available again.
