jimmy page uses a very similar riff in in my time of dying. but even jimmy said he lifted alot of old blue riffs. but the speed and the cleaness he plays them at makes it different. i just wish they had better sound equiment back then so you could hear better what this dude is playing.

reply to dweeb: Yeah, Jimi Hendrix in the context of modern guitarists. Just said Page, did not rip off this riff as far as I know. As for great guitarists, we just heard one. My personal favorite is Robert Johnson.
Also Blind Wille McTell. This was just in context. It's not an argument.

Thanks so much. His singing and playing are extraordinary. It's amazing what presence and power he has up on a stage by himself. Meanwhile, so many rock bands depend on painful, ugly volume to make an impact.

Thanks to Alan Wilson for bringing Son back to record again. It's amazing .He actually set his guitar down for so long he forgot how to play and had to relearn. This is great he's on vidio. We came so close to loosing him.

Son House didn't ... ( 1 week ago by CoolJack2)

Son House didn't have anything really resembeling a music career until the 60's revival, there were hundreds of small time musicians who recorded similar amounts of songs as Son house (a handful of paramount sides + a couple for the LOC). Son house though was lucky enough to have the Robert Johnson connection, and it seems most of his fame was built from there. Don't want to say he was nothing special, every small musician had potential and he managed to seal his reputation.

Man this is the roots of rock and roll! Without people like Son House and Robert Johnson and Blind Lemon etc we wouldn't even have teh White Stripes even though i'm a fan of them Jack White has spoken about how good this music is and has a great respect for Son House. This guys music is part of music history man.

Ok, I absolutely ... ( 4 days ago by tomibeck)

Ok, I absolutely understand that and really appreciate their work, but you know the quality of sound is much better in case of the stripes and that makes it more enjoyable to me. Maybe if I heard a remastered version of Son's song I would prefer it

Yeah i see what you mean it's a shame these old recordings are fuzzy but i'm just happy its here anyway and somebodys been kind enough to post :P

if you like this, it may be worth your money to find the "roots n blues" double disc 1966 sessions; very clean recordings. 21 songs, some previously unreleased, some alternate takes...you hear him mess up time and again trying to get "shake it and break it" down right.
and this isn't even my fav House song. heh.

I felt that way, ... ( 2 hours ago by jamianm)

I felt that way, too, cause for me it's not driveable music. You can't clean the house and kick out the jams with Son House and Robert Johnson, you know? It's more like music to drink a bottle of wine to. I personally don't do that; I just sit and know when I hear blues I can really, really enjoy. If you got it in your bones, baby, it just shakes them up. Maybe you'll find the right tune to do it. "Crow Jane" from Skip James in '67 recently had me going nuts with excitement last month ;)
