Son House - Father of Folk Blues - Analogue Productions 45rpm LP

180-Gram 45 RPM Double LP

One of the truly great audiophile blues recordings of all time. Rediscovered in 1964 after decades of obscurity, the "Father of the Delta Blues" — who taught important licks to both Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters — recorded this namesake album for Columbia in 1965, produced by John Hammond. Just Son House and his bottleneck acoustic guitar, his sheer, terrifying presence captured with stunning intimacy; the a cappella "John the Revelator" offers an instant taste of his power to captivate.
