In 1927, Son played at the Stovall Cotton Plantation while a boy nicknamed "Muddy" sat at his feet. In 1957, Muddy's Cadillac stopped to pick up a young man nicknamed "Buddy" who was holding a guitar and shivering in the cold on a southside Chicago street. After buying him dinner, Muddy asked Buddy if he could play something on the guitar he was carrying? "Yes sir," he replied.

Not doing it justice to say this film is a little gem. It's more a real godsend from The God of Real Soul Music... 🎶🎼🎼❣️🙏 And to think that the lovely, great Son House had begun to think that playing 'The Devil's Music' was about to catch up with him, God bless him. Anything BUT the Devil's music, Son. Legends... ❣️

Holy shit... I cannot believe I just watched two LEGENDS picking together.. Son House and Buddy Guy... wow.. just wow.. thank you so much for this gem!!! ✌🖤🤘
During some moments Buddy can't take his eyes off what Son is doing. Must be incredible to be sitting right next to the energy he is putting out. House is so physical with his guitar-- I love his percussive strumming and the sound it makes. And he takes his time getting through a song, so great.
Excepting the final tune where Son & Buddy play side by side, the 2nd guitar with Son House is Philadelphia Jerry Ricks-Buddy Guy borrowed his Martin for that last tune.
imagine Son House vocals Frankensteined together with Buddy's guitar ability in one bluesman....luv Buddy, best concert I ever saw, but his voice annoys me. I musta listened to 'Death Letter' tho 10 000x...so good
That was surreal. Played with Robert Johnson is blue dream but watcha didn’t know was while RJ was at the crossroads “ playing the nags hind” the House was on fire. From as young as 12 on up white females in the Deep South of the day. He better have run. The stories of these guys will be lost one day. From when Robert Plant fronted Led Zep he was incredulous that the Delta Blues all the way to Nashville that “ you Americans are amazing, Never heard of…..any of them. Never embraced what Aaron Neville was trying to do. Guilty as charged. I guess. Hey, old house was giving Buddy Guy and his monkey junk some what for and a side of the bluest blues. It’s funny it’s a treasure, this tape. I
Justin Johnson is the next great white hope! He can play circles around Bonnamassa on any guitar ever made. Check out his UA-cam channel and get ready to have your jaw dropped and picked up off da flo!
The thing that kills me is the video ending with two generations of country/blues/rock sitting together and jamming, and I just wish it was an hour-long video of THAT.
Son House vocals are the living embodiment of the blues. Buddy Guys vocals are incredible, but talk about Son House being completely original and just belting it out with no cares at all..and not for his ego either. He belts it out for the simple fact that his life is the blues or had been. Hopefully at this point in his life he was successful enough to be wealthy enough to enjoy his life.. but he's not singing for any other reason than for the song itself. Don't get me wrong Buddy is AMAZING.. but theres a slight difference obviously in the style and originality. Nobody today comes anywhere close to these two guys. Son House is literally Americana Art at its finest. He was a living embodiment of art and originality that came from poorland nowhere USA. Nothing but passion and honesty. Absolutely beautiful and precious. I never understood people that weren't interested in the history of music in this country, which in turn became cultural history of course... Goodness..this video is just priceless..
Son House is pure emotion. You feel it In every pick, strum, and vocal. I was lucky to meet Buddy Guy over a beer at his club in Chicago. And that jam is dancing Chicago Blues at its best. Son and Buddy doing country blues is magic.
Amen and anyone that has never felt the true weight of the blues on their heart and soul, can never truly understand what the blues really is and what it's about. That's why that no matter how anyone tries, they cannot immitate or replicate the real sound, feel and authenticity of the blues. Son House Knew it, Robert Johnson knew it, Johnny Shines knew it as did many others.
@@WillieDines1 Best way that was said I remember from an old bluesman on TV years ago when i was a kid. " It gotsa be in ya 'for it can come outta ya." Wish I could remember who said it, but just too long ago.
I was 16 Back in 1930 something. First time I met Sonny House , now back then he could play . Him Bobby Brown and Robert Johnson . They was the Bomb . Son now he always plaued that tin Getar .. now Son was lots better a player back in the Day .. but after Roberr was poisined Sun started hittin the bottle. More and More .. and he got to the point he had to have a good buzz to even pickup his resonaitor .. always wonderwd who got his Resonaitor , who ever got it they got a piece of history ..
at the time Son House was "rediscovered" he was living in upstate New York -- NOT Mississippi -- as he had worked for the NY Central RR starting I believe in WW2 -- he wrote a song about the NY Central runs on Eastern Time -- issued in the modern recording
That is correct. I love ALL of Sons music. His playing style is so unique and no one else plays like that. He plays like he is trying to break outta jail. They used to say that bout SRV but it really applies to Son House.
The 2nd guitarist with Son House, shown only from the back, is Jerry Ricks. A few years later he moved to Europe and performed as Philadelphia Jerry Ricks. When this was shot he lived on Lombard St. in Philly, half a block from Dick Waterman (cited on camera by Son) who was managing both House and Guy as well as many other blues greats. In that epic duet at the end with the profound view of Son's and Buddy's feet Buddy is playing Jerry's D-18 Martin. It's also kind of fun to notice that Buddy Guy, since become famous as the polka dot Stratocaster man is playing a Guild semi-hollow model on the band numbers. Son's steel National was, if memory serves, borrowed from Ariel Swartley.
One more insight as I play thru this compilation. I can say these things because that's how the people in my community talked.Mist of them passed on now. Don't take this as racial anything other than looking at linguists but it's been a long damb time since I heard Rock & Roll called Monkey Junk. But's there's Blues and then there's Rock & Roll. He's explaining it to you if you listen.
I adore and love SON, but this early Buddy at (16:30 and especially at 20:00) stuff is really something else!!! So hot, jesus! (think Hendrix and Prince got a load of inspiration of stuff like this...) Such a piece of history! Thank you for uploading!
Lord Have Mercy... Been playin me some Blues, fer 50+ years... Reckon I ain't never done seened me summat like Son House an Buddy jammin together, until today... Might havedta go change into some clean boxers, y'all...
Remember when wolf jumped all over house for being drunk, i saw wolf drunk as a skunk ten years later in another movie, but then played a half hour set, so...
If this film were to be produced today using all this modern digital sh*t, it wouldn't sound anything like this. Nothing today sounds good. Digital recording sucks.

Thank you for sharing this. These videos should be mandatory in the schools and they need to bring back~ Band, for all !! ❤️ !
"I can play anything you want if you can give me some food." Man, those were some times...
@@prathameshbhamburemuddy asked him If he was hungry... not play for your supper

No way I just watched 30 minutes of Buddy Guy and Son House....
Thank you so much for uploading this. Son House is humanity personified and deserves to survive us.

still brings tears and chills. What a great musician and spirit!!
I seen Buddy Guy several times, he's still a badass at 80
Son House was a true artist.
What a treasure. The end with them playing together is the best.
i saw a clip of this in the keith richards doc and i couldnt find it for the longest time.
so glad it now
Same!
This is the most amazing video i never knew i'd not seen.I mean it's just incredible.

They don't make them like this anymore, period...
Both were at their best! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When son house plays i just could imagine sitting on the porch on a hot day in the delta to hear him play.
Thanks to god we have this recorded
The Guitar parts Buddy Guy is Playing With Son House During Death Letter Blues Is So Tasty it really fills it up so nicely 😊
This is America. It needs to be preserved forever.
Damn, he plays that flat top like it owes him money!
Dang Dang this just got started loving it Awesome for a birthday day and a Sunday afternoon❤✌
Fabulous thanks for sharing
Fabulous, amazing!
He's the best I've heard.
Son House Awesome Buddy Still Rockin
We eyes are tearing
SAME HERE BRO
Son's guitar playing is a lot more precise when he's got a solid back up like Buddy Guy. Great to see 2 generations of bluesmen playing together.
Excepting the final tune where Son & Buddy play side by side, the 2nd guitar with Son House is Philadelphia Jerry Ricks-Buddy Guy borrowed his Martin for that last tune.

That's soul!

I don't know if anyone else knows this but Buddy can't play and sing at the same time. He said so himself.
BB King couldn't play and sing at the same time either!

Buddy lives in the same suburb as my brother, Orland Park. But my brother says that Buddy lives on the good side of town.
best video quality i've seen of this, and son house, talk about being one with the song

Wow. Son House's description of what the blues is, is the realist thing I've ever heard, and what an insane voice. Incredible.
DAMN! You can FEEL that Son House has been thru some SHT with his relationships. Stomp it out🔥🔥🔥🔥
He had those B-L-U-E-S blues. 😅
Son House brings it like no other.
Yes Sir
This man (Son) gives chills when he plays so hard! 🎶🎧❣️🎊🎉💘🥊
Two absolutely amazing musicians! Legendary!
Buddy Guy is a living legend.
and his neibhours dont even know it
Man social distancing at its finest right here
@@Aaron-ib3ly ta feck u on bout bui
You got that right!
A lot of people say Jimi Hendrix. I say Buddy Guy.
how did you get the extra min after 27.22 ? i bought this live exhibition on camera three site but there isnt that extra...
Just slightly speed it up.
at the time Son House was "rediscovered" he was living in upstate New York -- NOT Mississippi -- as he had worked for the NY Central RR starting I believe in WW2 -- he wrote a song about the NY Central runs on Eastern Time -- issued in the modern recording

I can imagine if young Hendrix watched Buddy Guy in this he would say to himself I can take this to a whole new level.

I like the way the guild sounds, lots of reverb tho. Of course Buddy could play anything and sound great
His breathing and grumbling more powerful than all xx

Such a piece of history! Thank you for uploading!
Buddy's playing is superb. Son House must of been glad the blues was safe literally in the next generations hands.
two guys who really put out!
The rhythm of both of their feet tapping brings that much more emotion.....along With Son House's voice.....When the Delta and Chicago meet up
No one but the God himself wrote this story of the blues. Son house. Johnson. Muddy. Buddy guy. What a structure
This footage is like a rare diamond, my god
Lord Have Mercy...
Been playin me some Blues, fer 50+ years...
Reckon I ain't never done seened me summat like Son House an Buddy jammin together, until today...
