I want to be a Baptist Preacher so I won’t have to work - Son House

Jaywho said if this man doesn't move you you're soulless.

You can still feel the power of Son's emotion in this, but to hear true fire out of him from this song, listen to his only surviving early recording of it, from back in the 1930s.

God bless this man

If only they had recorded him constantly from 1930 on to 1950 and on decent equipment and material (what material they used for the actual disc) we would have been left with some truly incredible recordings, his survivng 48's are in terrible condition, especially both Part one and Two in 1930 but then again they did pretty much the same thing to all the very greatest guitarists in the 20's and 30's, Blind Blake & Lemon etc., even the most popular live act then, Leroy Carr & Scrapper Blackwell

The man is the blues.

For those of you that have never heard his original 1930 recorded version you are missing out big time, it's probably the most intense and fastest tune he recorded and the bass riff puntuations is one of the greatest riffs ever heard, it's so good that no one has beaten it for intensity and power in all of country blues. To hear it and to know that the man had virtually only begun to play guitar in about 1928, not even playing for three years, the man was a born genius

respect from greece!!!!!

If this man doesn't move you, you aren't alive.
