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:

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.

Robert Johnson is/was the man. I developed a love for Delta Blues.

This CD was my introduction to Robert Johnson and the Blues in general. Okay, so calling it "life changing" may be dramatic of me, but discovering the music of Robert Johnson was sort of life changing for me.

I got some Skip James, Son House, Charley Patton, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Blind Blake, Memphis Slim, Mississippi John Hurt, Tampa Red, Memphis Minnie and the like. I listened to it over and over, sort of mesmerized.

Then, I decided I wanted to know more. If you want to jump into a new genre of music called the Blues and you don't know where to start, start here.

I started really listening to the Blues about 10 years ago, and I always go back to Robert Johnson for a nice dose of the beautiful Blues.
