- The truly legendary Son House here giving a short introduction and performing a version of the exalted "Preaching the Blues".
It's not the best quality video, doesn't make much a difference on how good it is though.
People have to Consider This Man as. The Greatest. BLUES MAN OF. ALL Time Salute To This Man
As an alcoholic, the line "I'll be glad when this ol' corn liquor's gone out" hits like a freight train. Damn.
Saw him at University of Oregon in 1967/1968. Definitely sparked an affection for 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
Hey California Dreaming - just put in Son House 1930 Paramount recordings on UA-cam. The legendary recordings which the poster refers to were done with Charlie Patton and Louise Johnson. They are on here. Also, what he says about 'Preachin the blues' is all true.
This recording got me 🎼🤘🏻
This is the rawest music you’ll ever hear
Billiant this brings my whole soul to live.Such a great legend for ever and ever,
If this man doesn't move you, you aren't alive.
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.
He must have been an incredible sight to see back in the 1930's; especially now hearing his recording of "Preachin' Blues" way back before his rediscovery, the recording being intensely powerful. This slower version of "Preachin' Blues" from 1967, I definitely like it almost as much as when it was first recorded.

Well said.
Son had an intensity, even in his rediscovery years, that few others could even approach.
The man is the blues.
respect from greece!!!!!

Master House ! One of the Greats!
One of the best pickers to ever play the blues
This is harder and deeper and true and soulful than all the history of metal and hip hop combined

And now you're 23?
24
Howard Chambers 24 at the moment hahaha
Hahahaha
Classic Blues FTW!
God bless this man
Beautiful...
he was 65 here...wow...Blues.
cheesedips Actually there is a possibility that he was 81 here. He himself always listed his birth year as 1886 and there are documents from way back when that say the same thing. Who knows?

Tremendous .
True genius!
Amazing

Wonderful
2020 still relevant
Direct from the source
Fucking amazing
Oh, I bet he was an amazing speaker up there. I don’t believe people should be paid to preach, but I love a good sermon and I can see him now sweating up a storm and taking a sip of that liquor that’s in a water bottle sitting on top of it.
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
Aethel Wulf i belive you mean 78s
He quit playing the guitar in the 40s I think it was and was rediscovered. His records were extremely rare to find and collectors wanted his records. When people found out he was still alive they wanted to present him to the public and this concert was his first in like 20 years from putting the guitar down. Alan Wilson eventually re-taught Son House his own songs to him.
@@Banzo_ Alan actually taught him also the style he used to play!
Open D or E?
Most likely Open E
Jaywho said if this man doesn't move you you're soulless.
You know from going to hell in truth I forget what year this was going to hell is what I call my concussions
this sounds like a ritual, an hypnotic visionary song
I must congratulate you for having one of the best descriptions for this song that I've heard.
Wow same here, want a medal?
I think Son House would be proud of these girls keeping his memory going!! ua-cam.com/video/cEWiJR9qeoc/v-deo.html
Yes!
