We Say...
What an interesting character — he would sing with the same intensity in front of two people in a living room or in front of two thousand people. He has a very rich sound, very full. He sounded like he could sing without a mike. When I first heard it, it sounded like it was from outer space. See, I grew up with what we were hearing on the jukebox and on TV — Kay Starr and the hit parade, Frankie Laine, Jerry Vale, a lot of Italian singers with vibrato, which I hated. I heard Son House and I got hooked. It made an immediate impact on my soul. It was like I knew a secret everyone else didn't know. His passion is, man, incredible. This guy is so connected to the song spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically. He really knows who he is when he's in the center of the song. You know that thing is flowing.

They Say...
JSP's Legends of Country Blues compiles five CDs of performances by Son House, Skip James, Bukka White, Tommy Johnson, and Ishman Bracey. These historic prewar recordings have been remastered, and according to the packaging, feature "unprecedented listening quality." While that claim is a bit of a stretch, the majority of this material does sound great. Unlike other packages of this type, the liner notes are informative, listing personnel, dates, and concise history without going on ad nauseam. As an extra bonus this is a budget-priced set, making it highly recommended, especially for the blues novice.
