Robert Johnson – King Of The Delta Blues Singers

The legendary Robert Johnson (1911-1938; he was 27 years old when he died) stands at the crossroads of American music. He became the first modern bluesman, evolving the country blues of the Mississippi Delta. Johnson was a songwriter of searing depth and a guitar player with a commanding ability that inspired every blues artist that followed in his wake. Several songs from this set were repeatedly covered throughout the blues-rock explosion of the Sixties by many artists, notably Eric Clapton, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and ZZ Top, among many others.
