 Rating: - Son House and the Great Delta Blues SingersThis is more of a question than a review. I discovered the Delta Blues over the last few years and can't get enough of it. Of the 30 or so CDs I've purchased I ocasionally get one where the recording is scratchy and the sound quality is less than good. This CD is one of those. I've read the reviews and no one talks about this. The other Son House recordings I have purchased have good quality sound. The question is three fold. First, why is the quality of the sound not mentioned in any of the reviews? Second, how can I know before purchasing future recordings that the sound quality will be good? Last, the cover of the CD I received is not the cover shown. This CD has the above title but also says 1928 ~ 1930 is black and white, and ... Read More: Rating: - Son House was the grandaddy of 'em all!If you're interested in the blues roots of rock, you've come to the right place. Son House laid down tracks that have echoed down to this day, and he may have been the first true wellspring of what became rock. I've been a listener and collector of what's now called classic rock for more than 40 years, and I have never found an earlier or truer original source than Son House. With all the fuss being bestowed on Robert Johnson these days, here's a clue: Son House taught RJ how to play! Listen to this album and hear the foreshadowings of ALL the great music to come... Truly great guitar pickin', and a voice as rough, plain and honest as Mississippi dirt clods... You may not want to put this album on Infinite Repeat, but you will not walk away ... Read More: Rating:  - Great Stuff, Some RepeatsSon House is essential to any blues collection. And as is usually the case with pre-war blues artists, Son's early stuff is better than the 60's revival stuff. That said, the company put songs on here by other artists that already appear on Mississippi Masters--which I also highly reccomend, especially for Geechie Wiley's "Last Kind Words." This CD would be 5-star and beyond if it weren't for those repeated songs. Rating: - Awesome"Son House & The Great Delta Blues Singers" isn't entirely devoted to Son House. There are cuts by several other musicians, including Rube Lacy, Joe Calicott, and House's onetime playing partner Willie Brown, but this disc, which contains Son House's complete 1930 session, is the best place to get his earliest songs. The sound quality is not excactly stellar, mainly due to the inferior quality of Columbia Records' original masters and horrible quality pressings, yet the power and intensity of Son House's huge voice and slashing slide guitar playing cuts through the pops and hisses like...well, a cutting thing. Also, this CD is one of the very few which features both the previously unreleased test acetate of "Walking Blues" ... Read More: Rating: - A COLLECTION OF SOME OF THE FINEST DELTA BLUESI absolutely love this CD and find myself listening to it over-and-over again. I ordered it for the Son House material but have found the Willie Brown and the Garfield Akers songs to be every bit as fantastic! Although I especially like the three musicians already mentioned, there is not a dud in any of the remaining tracks. If you like delta blues and don't have this CD you are missing one of the greatest musical treats you're liable to find. |
