I learned of this song through the excellent White Stripes cover. I also got into Blind Willie McTell through them. I loved this one, that The Allman Brothers cover of can't do justice to...

Son House came from the same era as Robert Johnson. Robert Johnson helped give birth to Rock'N'Roll. Son House, Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Willie Johnson

One of my other favorites from that same time:

Bukka White:

So no rebuttal for no discernable response from the ocean blacks

I don't care for Jack White's music but I love the guy for what he's done for old time American music. Big Bill Broonzy is my favorite old blues guy.

American blues, jazz, swing and hillbilly music from the 20s and 30s is criminally underrated and practically all I listen to besides 50s rock-n-roll.

I found this in a record store in Chapel Hill, NC, in high school, and bought it... and it changed me forever!

Then I saw the film Crossroads at the theater and my musical direction changed forever.
