Music reviews of King of the Delta Blues Singers
Music Review: The Beginning
Rating: 5 Stars
This is where it all started ...
This album, originally released in '61 or '62 was the one Clapton and Richards and countless others listened to and went on to rock'n'roll greatness.
If you are only familiar with electric blues as BB King, Buddy Guy, or SRV recorded them in the 70's or 80's you will have to step back in time to a land without electric guitars or wah wah pedals ... this guy sang his heart out, and played both rhythm and lead guitar at the same time the way Hendrix and SRV would later on.
He was not the only blues artist recorded this early on but was the most influential, and by now, the most famous ... everyone from Clapton to Willie Nelson has recorded his songs, and still do !

Title: KING OF DELTA BLUES SINGERS
Street Release Date: 09/15/1998
Genre: BLUES TRADITIONAL
If there is a recording that is required listening for every blues fan, it's this one. Robert Johnson wasn't just King of the Delta blues; he was one of its founding fathers, and these re-mastered tunes are as timeless and important today as they were all those years ago. The songs that passed into the blues canon, to be covered by countless guitarists over the years, are here: "Crossroad Blues," "Preaching Blues," "Come On In My Kitchen," "Walking Blues," and more. And on this particular version of this often-reissued recording, there's an additional treat: a previously unreleased version of "Traveling Riverside Blues." Absolutely essential. --Genevieve Williams
