Our Take

ROBERT JOHNSON - Complete Collection

If the devil went down to Georgia, then Robert Johnson sold his soul at the crossroads. The man who famously claimed to have made a deal with the devil in exchange for his unparalleled guitar skills left behind a legacy that is as haunting as it is legendary.

The Complete Collection is a mesmerising journey through Johnson's all too short career, showcasing the raw talent and emotion that made him a Delta blues icon. From the mournful wails of "Cross Road Blues" to the eerie charm of "Hell Hound on My Trail," Johnson's music is like a ghost whispering secrets in your ear.

His guitar playing is nothing short of supernatural, with intricate fingerpicking and slide techniques that defy belief. The way he weaves his voice around the melodies is like a spell, drawing you further into his world with each note.

Whether you're a blues enthusiast or a casual listener, the Complete Collection is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for the roots of American music. Johnson's influence can be heard in everyone from Eric Clapton to The Rolling Stones, making this album a vital piece of music history.

So grab a glass of whiskey, dim the lights, and let Robert Johnson take you on a journey through the heart of the Delta. Just make sure you don't make any deals at the crossroads on your way out.
