Just saw Charlie at the Jeezum Crow Festival at Jay Peak, VT, on Saturday - he was outstanding and very rightly well received. And he had a gig in Indiana the next day! Brutal, but a pro's pro, Charlie. So FN good.
I do Son's song a cappella at open mics and (rare) gigs and it FN kills. (Albeit I can't mimic his asynchronous hand clapping; I do it in time.) Such a powerful and ultimately true song, and Charlie is clearly paying homage to Son House. And who brought Son House back into the limelight (and retaught Son his own songs?) Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson of Canned Heat. Son called him the best harp player of all time, btw.
@@mainek2132 I’m guilty of applying modern day synchronising when I’m singing it too! We can forgive Son, though. He was performing the music as he remembered it.
