circa 1893 jacksonville florida died circa 1933 was an influential blues singer and guitarist he is often called the king of ragtime guitar there is only one photograph of him in existence blind blake recorded about 80 tracks for paramount records in the late 1920s and early 1930s he was one of the most accomplished guitarists of his genre with a surprisingly diverse range of material his complex and intricate fingerpicking has inspired reverend gary davis jorma kaukonen ry cooder ralph mctell and many others he is most known for his distinct guitar sound that was comparable in sound and style to a ragtime piano very little is known about his life his birthplace was listed as jacksonville florida by paramount records but even that is in dispute nothing is known of his death even his name is not certain during recordings he was asked about his real name and he answered that his name was blind arthur blake which is also listed on some of the song credits strengthening his case on his real name although there is a suggestion that his real name was arthur phelps his first recordings were made in 1926 and his records sold well his first solo record was early morning blues with west coast blues on the b side both are considered excellent examples of his style blake made his last recordings in 1932 the end of his career aided by paramount s bankruptcy it is often said that the later recordings have much less sparkle and allegedly blind blake was drinking heavily in his later years it is likely that this led to his early death at only 40 years the exact circumstances of his death

repetitive rhythms often played with the aid of slide guitar and his singing often incorporated elements of southern gospel and spiritual music he was an important influence on muddy waters and also on robert johnson who would later take this style of music to new levels a seminal delta blues figure house remains influential today with his music being covered by rock groups such as the white stripes biography the middle of seventeen brothers house was born in riverton two miles from clarksdale mississippi around age seven or eight he was brought by his mother to tallulah louisiana after his parents separated the young son house was determined to become a baptist preacher and at age 15 began his preaching career despite the church s firm stand against blues music and the sinful world which revolved around it house became attracted to it and taught himself guitar in his mid 20s after moving back to the clarksdale area inspired by the work of willie wilson he began playing alongside charley patton willie brown robert johnson fiddlin joe martin and leroy williams around robinsonville mississippi and north to memphis tennessee until 1942 after killing a man allegedly in self defense he spent time at parchman farm in 1928 and 1929 the official story on the killing is that sometime around 1927 or 1928 he was playing in a juke joint when a man went on a shooting spree son was wounded in the leg and shot the man dead he received a 15 year sentence at parchman farm prison son house recorded for paramount records in 1930 and for alan lomax from the library of congress in 1941 and 1942 he then faded from public view until the country blues revival in the 1960s when after a long search of the mississippi delta region by nick perls dick waterman and phil spiro he was re discovered in june 1964 in rochester new york where he had lived since 1943 house had been retired from the music business for many years working for the new york central railroad and was completely unaware of the international revival of enthusiasm for his early recordings he subsequently toured extensively in the us and europe and recorded for cbs records like mississippi john hurt he was welcomed into the music scene of the 1960s and played at newport folk festival in 1964 the new york folk festival in july 1965 and the october 1967 european tour of the american folk festival along with skip james and bukka white in the summer of 1970 house toured europe once again including an appearance at the montreux jazz festival a recording of his london concerts was released by liberty records ill health plagued his later years and in 1974 he retired once again and later moved to detroit michigan where he remained until his death from cancer of the larynx he was buried at the mt hazel cemetery members of the detroit blues society raised money through benefit concerts to put a fitting monument on his grave he had been married five times style and influence house s innovative style featured strong repetitive rhythms often played with the aid of a bottleneck coupled with singing that owed more than a nod to the hollers of the chain gangs the music of son house in contrast to that of say blind lemon jefferson was emphatically a dance music meant to be heard in the noisy atmosphere of a barrelhouse or other dance hall house was the primary influence on muddy waters and also an important influence on robert johnson who would later take his music to new levels it was house who speaking to awe struck young blues fans in the 1960s spread the legend that johnson had sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his musical powers more recently house s music has influenced rock groups such as the white stripes who covered his song death letter also reworked by skip james and robert johnson on their album de stijl and later performed it at the 2004 grammy awards the white stripes also incorporated sections of a traditional song son house recorded john the revelator into the song cannon from their eponymous debut album the white stripes jack white of the white stripes has cited his a cappella songs like grinning in your face as a large influence another musician deeply influenced by son house is the slide player john mooney who in his teens learned slide guitar from son house while son was living in rochester new york several of house s songs were recently figured in the motion picture soundtrack of black snake moan 2006 describing house s 1967 appearance at the de montfort hall in leicester england bob groom wrote in blues world magazine 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 son
