Decent authentic New Orleans blues album. Plenty of heart.
  
An amazing book that I recommend to absolutely anyone who has ever experienced depression, or even "the blues."

Rolling Stone's 22nd greatest album of all time
The subject of many mysterious stories of soul-selling and devil-dealing, which is obviously complete nonsense. Quite simply, Johnson was a blues musician who initially wasn't very good and then, after a couple of years of intensive practice, he became quite good. His songs tended to have a dark, macabre theme to them, which led people to believe the hype of him selling his soul to the devil, a story which wasn't invented until after his death, and has grown arms and legs since.
Superb blues songs from a master of the Delta blues style, most notably Sweet Home Chicago, Come on in my Kitchen and Cross Road Blues.

Just fairly forgettable dirge. The worst sort of music to have come from classic Blues.
