ROBERT JOHNSON – The Complete Collection

Score: 9.3

Packed to the brim with more Delta blues goodness than a back alley juke joint, Robert Johnson's "The Complete Collection" is a must-have for any self-respecting music aficionado. This 41-track compilation is a treasure trove of raw, visceral blues that will transport you back to the smoky bars and dusty roads of the 1930s.

Johnson's haunting vocals and nimble guitar work are on full display here, showcasing the immense talent that made him a legend in his own time. Tracks like "Cross Road Blues" and "Hell Hound on My Trail" are as chilling and captivating today as they were over 80 years ago.

But what truly sets this collection apart is the sheer depth and variety of Johnson's songwriting. From the gut-wrenching ballads to the rollicking dance numbers, each track is a testament to his unparalleled skill as a musician and storyteller.

Whether you're a die-hard blues fan or simply looking to broaden your musical horizons, "The Complete Collection" is a must-listen. So pour yourself a glass of bourbon, dim the lights, and let Robert Johnson's timeless music wash over you. Trust us, you won't regret it.

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.
