Our Take

Ah, Robert Johnson, the legendary King of the Delta Blues. This man's music is like a time capsule, transporting us back to the 1930s with his haunting vocals and mesmerising guitar work. The 16 tracks on this album are pure gold, showcasing Johnson's unparalleled talent and influence on the blues genre.

From the iconic "Cross Road Blues" to the soul-stirring "Hell Hound on My Trail", each song on this album is a masterpiece in its own right. Johnson's raw, emotional delivery is enough to send shivers down your spine, making you feel like you're right there in the Mississippi Delta, soaking in the atmosphere.

The production on this album may be rough around the edges, but that only adds to its charm. It's like listening to Johnson perform in a smoky, dimly lit juke joint, with the sound of his guitar echoing through the room. You can almost picture the crowd swaying along to the music, completely enraptured by his spellbinding performance.

Overall, "King of the Delta Blues" is a must-have for any music fan. It's a timeless classic that continues to inspire generations of musicians, and Johnson's legacy lives on through his extraordinary body of work. So grab a glass of whiskey, sit back, and let the King himself serenade you with his bluesy magic. You won't be disappointed.
