Son House

Son House stands as the purest link to pre-WWII Delta blues, having directly taught both Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson at Mississippi juke joints from the 1920s. Rediscovered in 1964 by Columbia University researchers, he recorded “Death Letter Blues,” which remains a masterwork cited in over 400 blues study curricula.
