terrific remaster. I love how true to it Eric Clapton was. Another great car blues song is Delbert McClinton’s B Movie Box Car Blues

Simply incredible. You can easily hear why his songs are among the most covered songs of any artist.

I hear you brother—- its interesting that you throw in Bird as the second part of your tandem—- I see Robert as the Root– and Jimi as the culmination—- I look at Bird as akin to Mozart— the perfection of the Archetype…. whats even cooler is then to dig back further from Robert— and you arrive in the music of Sub-saharan and Northern (desert) Africa– such and incredible deep tradition that we are blessed with— Have you check outed much African Music??

those three are great,,,as are a whole lot more, What I was expressing is that Mr Johnson established the blueprint (excuse the pun) for what the blues ARE…not what it they could become. He created the recipe, and everyone else has copied it, with good results, but without that foundation…they would be nowhere. His music expressed his soul, during the era of adjunct racism, the DEFINITION of the blues leaving others to rely on techniques to embellish and polish, NOT CREATE!

And, remember, Robert used to jam with Johnny Shines from Tuscaloosa, Alabama…… never forget him…..

I must agree, the Blues now days is not even close to the same as these early recordings.

Every young guitar stud who thinks he has cracked the code of playing the Blues should hear this treasure of a recording…they will discover that they have only scratched the surface. Robert Johnson and Charlie Parker ARE THE BLUES…everybody after them are simply imitations….they may come close, but no cigar.

"Now you know the coils ain’t even buzzin’; little generator won’t get that spark.
Oil’s in a bad condition; you gotta have these batteries charged. I’m crying pleeee-ase, pleee-ase, don’t do me wrong!" Absolute genius! So frigging hard to sing along in time to it, never mind trying to play the f****r!

That’s what John Wilde says, but he doesn’t really offer any evidence… Though it’s true OKeh sometimes sped up the recordings. Nobody can prove what was the real speed because nobody can check the original sources.
Besides, does is that really important? RJ’s music is so full of soul that even the slowed versions show his amazing style and his technical possibilities…
