Notes

All the songs Robert Johnson recorded were during the years 1936-1937, when he was only 26 years old. He died a year later, poisoned by a jealous husband. Fifty years later, he’s the author of such standards as ‘Love In Vain’ and ‘Sweet Home Chicago.’ Considered a myth, and his whole repertoire is simply legendary. The influence of Robert Johnson’s music still shows on contemporary works, and many of his songs have been since covered by other great artists, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones among others. This makes ‘the complete recordings’ a must-listen.
