The Complete Recordings

over the past 50 years robert johnson's influence has reached out from beyond the grave. though his recording output numbers fewer than 30 different songs, johnson's catalogue has been a treasure trove picked clean by artists ranging from bob dylan and the rolling stones to led zeppelin and the grateful dead. the beauty of 'the complete recordings' lies in its utter simplicity. johnson's reedy vocals, accompanied only by a steel-string guitar, evoke the very essence of the deep south with its mystery and intrigue.
