Eddie James House, Jr. (1902–1988), better known as Son House, was an influential blues singer and guitarist. After killing a man, allegedly in self-defense, he spent time on Parchman Farm. 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.
