If only he stayed sober.By J WaskoRecently. the State of Mississippi installed an extensive set of historic markers throughout the State. It is called the Mississippi Blues Trail. By traveling around the State. and with a good guide book. one can get a sense of the importance of Mississippi in the development of Blues and Rock Roll in the early to mid twentieth century. The area north of Clarksdale to Memphis was Son Houses stomping grounds. That area. roughly called Robinsonville-Tunica Resorts. is an area of big contrasts. It has all the hallmarks of upper crust Mississippi. (Big new casinos. Big levee projects. Big Plantation/Farms and agriculture) It also has residual poverty and abandoned and little used hamlets. (Hernando. Banks. Lyon. Lula. Marks. Ashland. and Dundee). Preachin the Blues mentions all these hamlets and their significance to the Blues. With the exception of Lula. not even the State of Mississippi is up to speed with this. This is a major strength of this book. and it should be read before anyone travels or vacations on the Mississippi Blues Trail. It would add a lot to the experience. By the time of the Blues revival in the early 1960s. Son House was the last man standing of the early Delta foundation players. Charley Patton and Robert Johnson were dead. Son House had been living in Rochester. NY for 20 years. and indulging in alcoholism. He could have been a giant. He could have been a contenda. The drinking ruined all of this. Think of Louis Armstrong to Jazz. Duke Ellington to big band Jazz. and BB King to modern day Blues. That could have been Son House to the early Delta Blues. Preachin the Blues tends to give Son House a pass on this. And the book points out that Howlin Wolf doesnt give Son House a pass on this. And neither does the verdict of history. In my opinion. thats the only shortcoming of this book. I would have deducted a 1/4 star. but the software wont allow it. Its a great book. But its really tragic that Son House wasnt able to offer more.20 of 23 people found the following review helpful. Daniel Beaumonts fine biography of Son HouseBy R. WeinstockI finished reading the Son House biography. "Preachin the Blues: The Life and Times of Son House" by Daniel Beaumont and while I intend to do a lengthier review. I thought it would serve to state my brief impressions. He makes use of much of the existing published material as well as some unpublished material such as stuff he has derived from the late Stephen Calts research. Thankfully the book is evenly written and lacks the nasty potshots that Calt was capable of taking against others. For example. if Calt had done a House biography. one would be hard-pressed to imagine Calt praising Dick Watermans work with Son as Sons manager.The only negatives include the fact that photo reproduction of some images could have been better and no discography of Sons recordings including CD releases. This book actually has footnotes which is quite helpful compared to the modern tendency of having endnotes at the end of a text. Another wonderful addition to the blues literature.
