Biography

Edward James "Son" House Jr., a profoundly influential American delta blues singer and guitarist, was renowned for his intensely emotional vocal delivery and masterful slide guitar playing techniques. For a significant period of his life, he exhibited a vehement aversion to secular music, instead dedicating himself to a career as a preacher and, for a brief stint, serving as a church pastor. However, it wasn't until he reached the milestone age of 25 that he made the pivotal decision to transition into a blues performer.
