Biography

Son House, a prominent figure in Delta blues history, was a major innovator alongside Charley Patton and Willie Brown. His intense original recordings from the 1930s for the Paramount label showcased his emotional fervor in singing and slide playing, influencing legends like Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson. Despite a period of imprisonment, House's rediscovery in the '60s solidified his legacy as a potent force in the blues scene, captivating audiences with raw, powerful performances that bridged the sacred and the profane.

Born Eddie James House, Jr., in 1902, House's journey into the blues world began at 25 after a disdain for plantation labor. His collaboration with Charley Patton led to iconic recordings for Paramount, making him a highly sought-after artist. Despite health challenges in his later years, House's impact on the blues genre and his induction into the Blues Foundation's Hall of Fame cemented his status as a legendary figure in music history.
