Robert Johnson's landmark recordings from 1936/37 have influenced a ton of musicians from later generations, including Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green, and Eric Clapton to name but a few.
His poorly documented life has given rise to much legend. Since he made non-religious music, he was said to have sold his soul to the devil (according to myth, he made the pact with the devil at the crossroads at - most likely - the south of Rosedale, Mississippi). Sadly, the devil took his soul at the age of 27.
Luckily, the original 1961 collection of his 1936/37 songs is now available in remastered form. Robert Johnson never sounded so alive before.
