Robert Johnson
King of the Delta Blues Singers (CD)
1998 Sony Music Entertainment Inc.
1937 Originally recorded
1961 Originally released
Contains 17 tracks.
According to the original liner notes: “Then he was gone, dead before he reached his twenty-first birthday, poisoned by a jealous girlfriend.”
My own comments: This guy exudes an originality that cannot be denied. He sings the blues as if he really lived them (and apparently he did). I can hear the influence that Robert Johnson had on people like Eric Clapton.
