„Stop Breaking Down Blues„ (Robert Johnson) Recorded: Dallas, June 20, 1937Robert Johnson (g)(vcl). Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8, 1911 — August 16, 1938) is among the most famous of Delta blues musicians. His landmark recordings from 1936–1937 display a remarkable combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that have influenced generations of musicians. Johnsons shadowy, poorly documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to much legend.

Genial tema!! La version de los Rolling Stones es muy buena tambien. 🙂
ZZ Top do it better. But you can never beat the original.
oh. i NEED to hear that!
He is.
best blues song ever
if robert johnson wasn’t the original, who was?
Quite possibly the most covered song ever. Eddie Taylor(Jimmy Reed’s guitar player)did one of the finest covers of it. He learned it from Robert Lockwood, who learned it from THE Master himself, Robert Johnson. The Stones also did a fine job on this song too.
i love this version and the White Stripes version and the Rolling Stone’s version and the Eric Clapton’s version and the ZZ Top’s version.
me too, and the stones version
*it’s
The Rolling Stones also covered this song, its on Exile.
Stop crying… stop complaining? i don’t know.
What means "Stop Breaking Down”?
Did goddamn Jeff Lynne from ELO rip this one off for "Don’t Break Me Down?" Sure as hell seems like it.
Two people are too happy and have never had the blues. #richwhitepeople
i’m very sorry.. come to south louisiana, you can still speak french here and not have to deal with that terrible music lol.. c’est bon
why exactly do you listen to him then? I can honestly say I have not listened to that kid sing.. because I choose not to.. and I don’t listen to the radio lol
i am fan of various music like bob dylan,johnny cash, music in general and have deep appreciation for artists like Robert Johnson and his compositions but boys please beware of one thing as you idolise and try your darndest to emulate him and his brothers who could floor a whole army with their guitar that you might end up in as dark and depressing a place as where this music generates from and not be able express it with such skill as these guys do. Bob Dylan says something in his book too
this is genuine blues man its too bad robert died with only pennies to his name he was on to a billion dollar idea of beat driven music but died young
Calm. Peeeeeeeeace.
I’ll listen to Keni Lee Burgess, thx 🙂
….good thought. On the other hand, if RJ DID sell his soul to the devil, he might be in a fairly good position to see what’s going on in the world today.
– don’t listen to Bieber then. He’ll be gone in a year’s time when the ‘next big thing’ is thrust at us by the media. Spend your time listening to real music – there is plenty of acoustic blues on YT that’s being recorded now by real people. Check out Keni Lee Burgess’ channel if you haven’t already.
