Son House Delta Blues
Pros: Clean, crisp, clear, amazing
Cons: regrettably, Son´s output is limited
An amazing album, marvelously remastered and digitally restored. Old and very old blues cuts tend to sound like, well, coming out of a rusty coffee can. Today´s stupefying technology in the hands of an expert audio engineer can turn that tinny sound into a very modern rendition of a master´s art; which is exactly what happened here. Son House has never sounded truer to himself -- digitalized clean up has made him sound as he truly did those many years ago, up on a stage or half hidden behind a curtain in some Mississippi chicken shack, without the distortion old timey technology added -- and which only purists value. I´d much rather hear an artist sound like himself than squeezed through a fluttering mike membrane by an uncaring radio engineer. So thanks, Pat Kraus, for your great job! Thanks for the pleasure of being able to enjoy Son House just as his many fans did back in the war- and post war years. ...
