of course you can say it. and yes, Jack is profoundly talented. yet the Stripes dedicated an entire album to Son. that ain't by mistake...not at all. forty years from now someone will be covering Jack's songs...who covered Son from forty years ago. and rest assured, the generation who grows up with that will prefer the new stuff, not Jack. they may not even know Son. it's a matter of perspective; the sort of thing Son had.

i know it wasnt a mistake...i take it as their way of showing respect for what was before them even though they are not going to do it exactly like the original -it is their way of showing respect for the musicians they cover by doing their covers in Stripes or Raconteurs 'style' because it shows they consider those great songs as ones that would fit into their set even today... I appreciate a lot of their covers -especially the really old ones like Keep It Clean or ones originally sang by women
The Delta blues, ... ( 2 weeks ago by autobahn45)
The Delta blues, perhaps some of the greatest, most influential music ever written, and it's finally on its way out. Honeyboy Edwards is the only one left. Son House, Willie Brown, Robert Johnson, they're all dead. It's a damn shame.
Yep, it is almost ... ( 2 weeks ago by YouSpamTard)
Yep, it is almost all gone now. It indicates the end of the world I imagine. That may sound a bit dramatic, but I just feel that sentiment inside of me. Not to mention the many other indicators we have around us now a days. Music is culture. It has just about vanished off of the face of this earth. From what I have noticed, this happened almost overnight around 1994. We are like Rome right before it self destructed is my best guess. I hate thinking this way, it scares the shit out of me.

Man Son House is just amazing...look at the way he plays that guitar. And the words to this song are amazing!!! "Got a letter this morning said...the gal you love is dead" Nothing says blues...nothing says rock more than those lines. Son House is imitated but never duplicated!!!

But its folks like you, who are willing to keep it alive. Mommas tell your daughters, papas tell your sons. There is a cure for these bad feelings you got. put your feet up and play the blues. Sure it wont be the same feelins as popping on that scratchy charlie patton record, but these goofey arse youtubes are doin an ok job at sparking some of that blue in today's world.

To streetgeezer:
Thanks for your comment of:
best music you've ever SEEN?
It hadn't escaped me that I was talking about SEE-ing music (one normally says HEAR, no?) I first encountered this MASTERPIECE on video. I suppose it would have struck me, if I heard it on the radio but SEEING Sun House - Wow! What a performance. What can one say, without sounding unbelievable but I have never seen a performance like that before. Never. And I've seen some good ones. This is on another plane.

he sounds good, but to be fair all he does is sit there and play - he's not really a performer, just an amazing muscician

Sorry it took so long, only just saw your message. I think the song 'Celebration Day' lifts this one wholesale. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that particularly, but there you go.
