RELEASE DATE
3/2/2018
Rumble Records present a reissue of
King Of The Delta Blues Singers
, a collection of
Robert Johnson
recordings released on Columbia in 1961. The years 1936-1937 were the entirety of Robert Johnson's recording career, when he was only 26 years old. He died a year later, poisoned by a jealous husband. Eighty years later he is known around the world as the author of such standards as "Love In Vain" and "Sweet Home Chicago", and is considered a myth, whose whole repertoire is simply legendary. The influence of Robert Johnson's music still shows on contemporary works, and many of his songs have been since covered -- sometimes stolen -- by other great artists;
Eric Clapton
,
Led Zeppelin
, and
The Rolling Stones
, among others. This brilliant collection of his recordings is as good an intro to the blues as anything else in the history of the genre.
