Just got a Robert Johnson T-Shirt so now anybody who notices it and actually knows who he is will get some serious respect points from me.

I’ve heard it said, "To play the blues, one must have lived the blues." Well, the current US adminstration swelled the ranks of those that qualify.

absolutely you are correct I believe, the ‘in tune’ version of roberts songs are quite a bit slower, for example on that recording if you play along with guitar you can play in standard tuning. with the officially released versions you have to capo at the 2nd fret so that a whole step up…they did speed it up to fit at least that is the official theory.

I understand Vocalion were notorious for speeding up records to make them more exciting. The two takes of Kindhearted Woman Blues are quite different; if you’ve had the chance to hear them both, perhaps you would agree?

Copyright belongs to Robert Johnson’s estate. He had a son, Claude who is still alive. He also has grandchildren. His age at death was stated as 26, not 27. The instruction in the margin of the death certificate states quite clearly that the age must be given ‘exactly’. I guess he wasn’t born on May 8 1911 after all! Not sure how genuine the death certificate is, as it seems he was buried before it was issued (?). Is/was that allowed in the US in those days?

Apparently, this was the very first take of the first sessions, on November 23 1936. It is the only known solo from Robert Johnson. The second take contained no solo.

interesting theory, but possibly a little over sentimental. the way I understand it putting a solo into an ’78’ recording was difficult because of time restraint, time was limited and the song had to fit within the short time frame, so with ‘this’ song Robert had the chance of fitting the short solo in within the time frame. what the solo does tell us is that Robert was not a one dimensional musician as some might think.

This is a discrce. The next vid I wanted to see was taken away because of copy right. Copyright by whom? The guy is long dead, now his music belongs to everybody.

my theory is he was crying singing "when you call me mr so-and-so’ name", and cut to a little solo while he regrouped for the next verse
