Our Take

It's time to dust off those dusty old blues records and dive into the murky world of Robert Johnson with the limited edition reissue of "King Of The Delta Blues Singers." If you thought modern blues was all about beanie-wearing hipsters and soulless guitar solos, think again. Johnson's raw, gut-wrenching vocals and haunting guitar licks will transport you back to a time when music was more than just a Spotify playlist.

Johnson's influence on modern music cannot be overstated. Artists like Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin have all cited him as a major inspiration, and it's easy to see why. His songs are like a window into the soul of a tortured man, haunted by demons and chasing after a love that always seems just out of reach.

The limited edition reissue of "King Of The Delta Blues Singers" includes remastered versions of Johnson's most iconic tracks, including the spine-chilling "Cross Road Blues" and the mournful "Hellhound On My Trail." The sound quality is top-notch, preserving the crackling warmth of Johnson's original recordings while adding a new depth and clarity that makes you feel like you're sitting in the room with him.

So, if you're a fan of authentic, spine-tingling blues music or just want to impress your friends with your impeccable taste in music, be sure to snag a copy of this limited edition reissue. Robert Johnson may be long gone, but his music lives on, and it's as powerful and timeless as ever.

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. Let his music transport you to a time and place where the blues reign supreme, and the devil's deals are just a chord progression away.
