Robert Johnson - King of the Delta Blues Singers, Volume II

Robert Johnson was an American blues musician whose 1937 and 1937 recordings heavily influenced many, many future generations

of artists. Despite the fact his recording career spanned a mere seven months, he is universally recognized as a master of the Delta

blues style, one of the earliest-known styles of blues emerging from the Mississippi delta in the early twentieth century.

This second compilation collects sixteen recordings previously available on the 78rpm format and includes recordings of two Johnson

songs that have since become blues standards: "Sweet Home Chicago" and "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom." In contrast to the deeply

emotive songs released on the 1961 album, many of the tracks on this volume display Johnson's lighter side. In 2003 the record was ranked #424 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Whether he really needed to sell his soul to the devil at the crossroads to reach these great heights, we'll never know...

King Of The Delta Blues Singers, Volume II is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on translucent yellow coloured vinyl and includes an insert with liner notes by Pete Welding.
