Our Take

Robert Johnson's "King of the Delta Blues Singers" bursts onto the scene in a limited turquoise vinyl edition, bringing a splash of colour to the hallowed sounds of the Delta. Johnson's haunting voice and mastery of the guitar are on full display in this seminal collection of blues classics.

From the opening notes of "Cross Road Blues" to the eerie strains of "Hell Hound on My Trail", Johnson weaves a spellbinding tapestry of heartache and redemption.

The limited turquoise vinyl adds a touch of retro cool to an already iconic album, making it a must-have for vinyl enthusiasts and blues aficionados alike. Johnson's influence on generations of musicians is undeniable, and this reissue only serves to cement his status as a true legend of the blues.

About the artist

Robert Johnson

Robert Johnson, the enigmatic blues legend from Mississippi, is as mysterious in death as he was in life. Believed to have sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads in exchange for his unparalleled guitar skills, Johnson's music has left an indelible mark on the history of blues. With only 29 recorded songs to his name, Johnson's legacy far outweighs his brief time on this earth. His haunting vocals and intricate guitar playing have influenced generations of musicians, from Muddy Waters to Eric Clapton. Despite his limited catalogue, Johnson's impact on the development of the blues cannot be overstated. His songs, such as "Cross Road Blues" and "Hellhound on My Trail," resonate with a raw emotional power that still captivates listeners today. Johnson's tragic death at the age of 27 only adds to the myth and mystique surrounding him. Whether it was poisoned moonshine or a deal with the devil that took his life, one thing is certain: Robert Johnson's music will live on forever. So next time you find yourself at a crossroads, remember the legend of Robert Johnson and the incredible legacy he left behind.
