  • Description

    It is well documented that Robert Johnson was one of the most influencial bluesmen of his generation, but of course Johnson himself had been influenced by older bluesmen.

    The 23 tracks on this compilation highlight the performers he heard and admired when he was growing up to the time of his own short-lived recording career.
