The legendary Robert Johnson stood at the crossroads of American music. He became the first modern bluesman, evolving the Country Blues of the MississippiDelta during the 1930s. Johnson’s life came to a premature and mysterious end in 1938, at the age of 27. Some people had heard of him, but few had listened to his music. That all changed when this essential album, 'King of the Delta Blues Singers', was compiled and released. It sparked a whole new generation’s interest in Delta Blues.The CD includes 16 mono recordings that were originally made during two extended sessions in 1936 and 1937. It became the first album to be inductedby the Blues Foundation into the Blues Hall of Fame, and in 2007 Mojo magazine ranked it number 6 on its list of 100 Records That Changed the World.In addition, this collector’s CD includes 11 bonus tracks, consisting of master takes waxed during the same dates and previously issued by Vocalion as 78s.
