“I can very much see how Son House’s playing was the foundation of (Robert) Johnson’s playing. He told me…he taught Johnson how to play. But Johnson took the music and just ran with it. ….(House) played slower then Johnson, and he was much more deliberate and driving…it takes more unexpected directions in its strumming and the placement of certain notes” – Rory Block
(Listen and feeeeeeel the immortal Son House play...can you dig it? -Ed)
