    Description

    The complete album + 3 bonus tracks - limited edition 180g vinyl pressing.

    The legendary Robert Johnson (1911-1938) stands at the crossroads of American music, becoming the first modern bluesman to progress and evolve the country blues style 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. In fact, several songs from this album were repeatedly covered throughout the blues-rock explosion of the Sixties, most notably by Eric Clapton, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and ZZ Top, among many others.

    "Robert Johnson was a haunting singer and poet." - ***** DownBeat
