'It is difficult to describe the transformation that took place as this smiling friendly man hunched over his guitar and launched himself bodily it seemed into his music. The blues possessed him like a 'lowdown shaking chill' and the spellbound audience saw the very incarnation of the blues as head thrown back he hollered and groaned the disturbing lyrics and flailed the guitar snapping the strings back against the fingerboard to accentuate the agonized rhythm. Son's music is the centre of the blues experience and when he performs it is a corporeal thing audience and singer become as one.'

Playing with partners Charley Patton and Willie Brown he exerted a profound influence on Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters both of whom copied his music and carried it to new generations. House's influence still echoes through the Rolling Stones Eric Clapton and many other musicians and in many respects he is the true father of what's known today as deep blues.'
