What Gives Robert Johnson The Blues?

I’ve been listening to a lot of Robert Johnson recently. Apparently Robert was a man who had the blues, caused by…

  • Dead Shrimp
  • Terraplane
  • Milk Cow’s Calfs
  • Preachin’
  • Walkin’
  • The Devil
  • Cross Roads

Even a Kind Hearted Woman gave Robert Johnson the blues and he has some strong feelings towards Ramblin’ too (but that’s another story all together).

Robert Johnson was one of the original and greatest blues musicians, his music is inspiring to say the least. Amazon are currently selling a double disc set of his complete recordings for just £3.93, an astonishing price for a CD I consider to be one of the highlights of my collection. If you don’t already own it, I urge you to buy it.
