Son House
One of the most influential of all Delta bluesmen, Mississippi-born Eddie James "Son" House was a direct inspiration to Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, having shown both of them some of his guitar techniques. His vibrant, aggressive style was captured by folklorist Alan Lomax on some Library of Congress recordings in the early 1940s, but he retired by the end of the decade. Like many of his peers, Son House was rediscovered during the folk/blues boom of the '60s, and was coaxed into performing and recording again, which he did brilliantly for another decade before retiring for good in 1974.
