I saw him live ,at Penn State in 1967, with Waterman hovering over him, in a small auditorium, only about 25 guys attending,; I was so close to him, and what I heard and saw changed the musical and cultural arc of my life. If not a god, he is one of God's dearest prophets.

This performance is an excerpt from the documentary film "Devil Got My Woman, Blues at Newport" directed by folklorist Alan Lomax. At Lomax's request in 1966 the Newport Folk Festival Board set up a replica of a Southern juke-joint in which the older Blues performers could play and be filmed. For several, including Son House and Skip James, it was early in their return to live performance after decades of not playing music. The 61-minute film is available on DVD from Rounder/Universal. As it's a legitimate licensed release, it's possible that the various performers' estates may receive compensation.

This was the same show where House got very drunk and started Heckling Howlin Wolf as he was beginning to perform, i think that really messed with Wolf coz Son House was obviously a man he looked up to very very much. Dick Waterman talked about how he was very vigilant in controlling House's Alcoholism while he was his manager and this must've been one of the few times where Waterman lost control. curious to see all the footage from this film to see how that whole scene played out

I don't quite remember when I bought a brand new, shrink wrapped Son House LP record with this song on it; I think it was around 1976. It was right after I had bought a Mississippi Fred McDowell ("I Do NOT PLAY NO ROCK and ROLL) for $1.00 at the Foothill College Bookstore, back in 1975. I love the Blues & I love Son House on this particular song; among some others by Son House. In 2014, I started taking Blues Bass Guitar lessons for about 7 years; playing with Blues bands at a Downtown club in Sunday Jam sessions (until Covid came along & shut everything down, that is...). Oh well. I just want to say that the "REAL" 'Blues feeling' that I've been able to achieve or have with my own Bass-playing was acquired by my first listening to Son House & Guitar players who "influenced" Son House.

@r.l.six-musicandrecords552 2 жыл бұрын

That's the best Fred McDowell record, and my favorite. And Son House, while not my favorite blues man, is the greatest of them all, I don't care what anyone says. Without him, there would be no idea of bottleneck slide. No Johnsons, no Howlin' Wolf's, no Leadbellys. It started with him and I am so happy it didn't die with him.
