Son House was a blues singer and guitarist who helped influence and popularize the delta blues style, influencing many artists both then and today, including Robert Johnson and Jack White. These tracks show a good picture of his music, with some tracks showcasing his guitar and slide guitar skills, and others that are simply him singing and clapping.
This music is reminiscent of gospel and the songs you might hear sung by chain gangs, not refined or necessarily always on time or key, but always full of feeling and soul. This music isn't everyone's cup of tea, but even if it isn't your style it's worth listening to hear where a lot of more contemporary music got its stuff from.

Son House
Wikipedia:
Eddie James 'Son' House, Jr. (March 21, 1902 – October 19, 1988) was an American blues singer and guitarist, noted for his highly emotional style of singing and slide guitar playing.
After years of hostility to secular music, as a preacher and for a few years also as a church pastor, he turned to blues performance at the age of 25. He quickly developed a unique style by applying the rhythmic drive, vocal power and emotional intensity of his preaching to the newly learned idiom. In a short career interrupted by a spell in Parchman Farm penitentiary, he developed to the point that Charley Patton, the foremost blues artist of the Mississippi Delta region, invited him to share engagements and to accompany him to a 1930 recording session for Paramount Records.
Issued at the start of the Great Depression, the records did not sell and did not lead to national recognition. Locally, House remained popular, and in the 1930s, together with Patton's associate Willie Brown, he was the leading musician of Coahoma County. There he was a formative influence on Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. In 1941 and 1942, House and the members of his band were recorded by Alan Lomax and John W. Work for the Library of Congress and Fisk University. The following year, he left the Delta for Rochester, New York, and gave up music.
In 1964, a group of young record collectors discovered House, whom they knew of from his records issued by Paramount and by the Library of Congress. With their encouragement, he relearned his style and repertoire and enjoyed a career as an entertainer to young white audiences in the coffee houses, folk festivals and concert tours of the American folk music revival, billed as a 'folk blues' singer. He recorded several albums, and some informally taped concerts have also been issued as albums. House died in 1988.
In addition to his early influence on Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, he became an inspiration to John Hammond, Alan Wilson (of Canned Heat), Bonnie Raitt, the White Stripes, Dallas Green and John Mooney.

Mar 18, 2016 Son House - 1990 - Son House And The Great Delta Blues Singers (1928-1929) He began playing alongside Charley Patton, Willie Brown, Robert Johnson, Fiddlin' Joe Martin, and Leroy. Son House is generally regarded as one of the most important figures in Delta blues, and The Original Delta Blues doesn't waste any time proving it. Kicking off with one of House's signature tunes, 'Death Letter,' the collection contains tons of fantastically primal slide guitar playing, and House's alternately tormented and jubilant vocals are a joy to hear.
