This is opening guitar part is a depiction of Robert Johnson who is perhaps the most notorious Bluesman in history. The song is "The Crossroads", one of 29 compositions, and one of 42 known recordings (figures from Wikipedia) I love the timing and feel between the guitar and vocals. I think his guitar work is underrated, sing along guitar playing tends to be simplisticeconomical, but I think it is strong and evocative, a truely inspiring work of art.

  6. Not sure if you got an answer to your question, but the guy who played the songs was Ry Cooder. I believe the soundtrack for this film was all done by him.

  8. Who re-played this song for the movie? Cause sound quality of the original R.Johnson version is very poor. Or maybe it was re-mastered? Where can I get that good quality version?

  9. The Man is Pure Legend.. If i did the film itd be a full on tribute to him and the true development of the Birth in Delta Blues..

  10. Talk to anyone who knows ANYTHING abkut music and they’ll tell you how much of an influence the Blues was o Rock & Rol, Zeppelin, Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Eric Bourdon & the Animals just to name a few, all influenced by the blues. About the only thing that Clapton MAY have done for the blues was bring it to a wider audience
