Peter T.,

Death Letter Blues is amazing, isn't it.

The first time that I heard Son House was on a CD that I bought that was recorded in the sixties in England. I was absolutely taken with his voice, his power, his passion, his delivery. I then bought the Plantation Recordings and found it much more reserved. I enjoy it, but not as much as the one from the Blues revival period.

Rick, Son House, Bukka White, Lonnie Johnson. Man I'm jealous. I don't often wish I was ten years older, but havinf been born in '59 I can only hear these guys on CD. I wish I could have seen them live.
