Robert Johnson – King Of The Delta Blues Singers

Robert Johnson – King Of The Delta Blues Singers

The foundation of everything. Robert Johnson recorded just 29 songs between 1936 and 1937 in makeshift studios in Texas and Mississippi — and those recordings changed the course of music history. His guitar technique was so advanced, so otherworldly, that the legend grew: he must have sold his soul at the crossroads. Eric Clapton called him "the most important blues musician who ever lived." Keith Richards, Muddy Waters, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones — all of them trace a direct line back to these recordings. This DOL deluxe gatefold double LP compiles all 29 of Johnson's surviving recordings, including alternate takes, making it the most complete Robert Johnson collection available on vinyl. An essential cornerstone of any serious record collection.
