Recorded: Place ?, November 27, 1936 Robert 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.

This Robert Johnson dude has the vintage look & sound down pat! He’s obviously extensively studied the old blues guys from the 20’s & 30’s.

Mi canción favorita!! y mi ringtone!! =D
