| | Son House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | House was born, the middle of three brothers, in Riverton, Mississippi, two miles from Clarksdale, Mississippi. |
 | | House's innovative style featured very 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. |
