I've covered this subject in a Blues Access article from the late 1990s; it's available online here:<br />http://www.wirz.de/music/house/grafik/wilson.pdf<br />Alan was always looking to educate listeners about the influences that inspired him. I am sure he would be happy to see that people around the world are still listening to the classic blues of Son House!<br /><br />You can read more about Wilson's role in the blues revival in my book-length bio of him, available through my website at http://blindowlbio.com. A portion is available online through Google Books; see the link posted on my home page.<br /><br />Fans of Wilson and his music may also wish to check out the new family-authorized website established in his honor. It’s at http://AlanWilsonCannedHeat.com and features rare photos, essays, links and other resources, as well as music downloads. I've been honored to make a few contributions to this site, and recommend it to anyone looking for more information on Wilson's oft-overlooked musical genius.<br /><br />I also operate a few social networking fan sites dedicated to Wilson. I’ll be sure to share your blog with other Canned Heat fans there.<br /><br />To dig deeper into the life and music of Son House, there's a new book out by Daniel Beaumont: "Preachin' the Blues: The Life and Times of Son House". I've recently picked up this bio and it looks excellent!<br /><br />Thanks again for remembering Son House and Alan Wilson with this post. Don’t forget to boogie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
