Death Letter Blues
Death Letter Blues es una de las canciones mas conocidas de Son House, grabada cuando él ya había dejado el blues hace muchísimos años atrás, pero fue incentivado a volver a tocarlo en el revival del Blues de la decada del '60. Todo un milagro para los jovenes de la época ver en vivo y en directo a la persona que había enseñado a tocar a Robert Johnson, compañero de Willie Brown (el que menciona Johnson en Cross Road Blues) y discípulo directo de Charley Patton. Son House es sin duda uno de los grandes precursores del Blues.
