A new collection of previously-unreleased Son House recordings will be released by Dan Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound next year.
he grew up devouring Son House’s Columbia recordings and was stunned to hear the 1964 Wabash tape, which had long been in the possession of House’s manager, Dick Waterman. “When I heard those Son House recordings, it was really emotional, honestly,” Auerbach says.
Waterman was one of three blues obsessives who tracked down Son House in 1964 in Rochester, New York, and helped the artist relaunch his career . Waterman helped Son House return to the stage for the first time in decades, securing him spots at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, as well as a handful of college campuses. Part of a Nov. 21, 1964 show at Oberlin College was recorded , but the Wabash College show two days later was recorded in full.
While that reel-to-reel spent the next six decades sitting on a shelf with little care or attention, it was still in decent shape when Auerbach and Easy Eye got ahold of it. The recordings were successfully transferred and Auerbach says only a bit of editing was done to clean up some stray noise. “It was just guitar and vocals,” he says. “I didn’t want anything to distract.
