Ross (3284 KP) rated Complete Recordings by Robert Johnson in Music

Jul 6, 2020

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.

"I remember hearing ‘African Bombaataa’ by Planet Rock and at the time time I was way into breakdancing and that was my whole life at maybe 9/10 years old. But those sounds for those records were so futuristic and I was way in into robots as a kid and science fiction and that music completely sounded like it was from another planet. And at that point I knew I wanted to make and create music and do something futuristic of that sort. Obviously I took another path or different style to the music we ended up creating as my job but even to this day electronic music I’m still very passionate about."
