Additional The Complete Recordings Information
|
This two-CD box contains all 41 recordings Johnson made, including 12 alternate takes, and each cut remains a classic. This set's release in 1990 caused quite a stir, selling more than 500,000 copies, and, on the basis of endorsements from Eric Clapton and Keith Richards, introduced a great number of rock fans to Delta blues. Amazingly, Johnson built his enormous legacy on the strength of just two recording sessions: the first session, in November of 1936, produced among others "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom," "Sweet Home Chicago," "Cross Road Blues," and "Walkin' Blues," making it perhaps the most influential single session in blues history. --Marc Greilsamer

What Customers Say About The Complete Recordings:

He's head and shoulders above pretty much all other recordings from this era. This is an amazing peak into 1930's blues. RJ is so clean, so fluid, so soulful. As a blues musician myself it's really inspired me to keep pressin' forward and strivin' to perfect my craft. I can lay on the couch on any given rainy day and listen to this on my ipod all day long.
How can one describe the guitar playing and singing of Robert Johnson. And his throaty voice matches the style so brilliantly. Simply amazing. He can play with such complicated style, it's no wonder he was accused of selling his soul to the Devil. His songwriting is also excellent, especially on "They're Red Hot" and "Come ON In My Kitchen." Blues fans, get this set. You won't regret it.
Robert Johnson inspired most of the Rock Stars Today. His song Cross Roads Blues was covered by Eric Clapton's Cream as Crossroads. Listening to this collection explains why he is considered one of the best Delta blues players.
RJ is a master of the finger style of playing, it sounds like 2 players but he is solo. Robert Johnson Complete Recordings: This is the only RJ recording to own. His vocals are absolutely the saddest and true to this material. It has every song and take he every recorded. The sound quality is the best I have heard of this material. Accept no Substitute. Over half of this material has been covered over and over.
Robert Johnson was one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) blues performers of all time. This collection features ALL the known recordings that he made, which is 29 songs plus alternate takes. The alternate takes are all noticeably different from the "regular" takes, with some of the lyrics changed. This is great stuff.
