this is a masterpiece
the complete recordings of robert johnson are one of the best box sets ever released (along with Bessie Smith's).
all the various songs that RJ ever recorded are made available in this set. the set includes malted milk, sweet home chicago, crossroads, walking blues, ramblings on my mind and love in vain. Some of these songs have been recorded by a variety of other artists. Son House and Clapton recorded walking blues, malter milk was recorded unplugged by Clapton in the mid-1990s, the Rolling Stones made a cover of Love in Vain (in Let it Bleed, 1969, in get your ya-ya's out and more recently in Stripped) and so on.
Though some of the covers of Robert Johnson's songs were quite good, I don't think they were nearly as good as RJ's original recordings. RJ makes a more delicate, but no less intense, recording than Son House --who, great as he was, was a bit rougher. And RJ makes a more powerful, more soulful renditions that were actually delivered by either Clapton or the Stones. take Love in vain. In the version recorded by the Stones, Keith Richards or Mick Taylor were respectively playing rhythm and slide guitars on a progression of chords that G-D-E minor and C (this is the live version, the version releaed on Let it bleed is in E-flat). It's nice and it's catchy. Nothing to compplain about. but in RJ's version there is no minor chord, the songs is much straighter and to the point. And there is more pain, more despair, more loneliness--which is why his version just sweeps you away.
And for those you want to learn how to play guitar, RJ's intricate fingerwork is just otherworldly and magnific; he plays simultaneouly rhythm and lead, alternating rhythmic parts with very sharp solo licks. It's pure genius.
Johnson should demand a soul refund if this is all he got!
Robert Johnson's music is indeed listen-able, but is by no means the revolutionary, almost supernatural sound his fans- primarily guilt-ridden, white, urban liberals- make it out to be. Actually, his down-home ditties sound pretty much like every other blues man of his time. If you like that kind of primitive strumming, that's fine, but take a step back and drop the embarrassingly effusive accolades, before you make a fool of yourself.
the devil's curse starts here baby yes!
oh yes robert johnson masde a deal with the devil at the crossroads and the world has'nt been the same since the blues evolved into rock n roll, heavy metal, and ganghster rap yes this is the reason we all sin bang our heads and commit fornication, and murder and senseless suicides, lesbianism and child sacrifices thanks mr. johnson for giving us all these pleasures in music this is for the open minded there's a hellhound on my tail as well haha.
