When I first heard Robert Johnson, I was blown away hearing things you'd hear in classical guitar, like counterpoint and multi voice textures. And this dude was singing over it in a time where multi tracking did not exist! While I personally do not care for Blues, I could listen to and appreciate the music of Mr. Johnson all day. He was truly special.

I bought the King of Delta Blues Singers album in 1978 at age 16. I saw it in the record store and I'm sure I must have vaguely remembered reading something about Robert Johnson so said, yeah why not , sounds like fun. Getting introduced to this so early in my own development of musical taste was huge, because I could find his influence in so many classic rock artists of the time. My own taste in rock, roots music, americana, folk music, etc., was completely formed by my early exposure to Robert Johnson at a time when disco ruled the charts. Actually a time not unlike now, with today's factory-made popular music.

Robert Johnson's immense influence is undeniable, but as you note he didn't become widely known until the 60s. On the other hand, I've often wondered why Louis Jordan isn't considered the father of rock n roll. And the Nat King Cole Trio the uncle. Both of them were immensely popular in the decade leading up to Chuck Berry and Bil Haily, and to my ears, there's precious little daylight between them and what came after. And don't get me started on Slim Gaillard.

It was March of 1991 when a schoolmate of mine in college lend me a cassette of King Of The Delta Blues Singers volume 1. The only other time I ever heard of Robert Johnson prior to that was through the movie Crossroads. The cassette was wound to side 2, so I played that side first. That slide riff intro of Preaching Blues (Up Jumped The Devil) scared the heck out of me! It was the scariest music I have ever heard in my life! I was playing that cassette during lunchtime in my house and the sun was shining very bright, but the music made my surroundings look like it was midnight with no electricity! I wanted to stop the cassette but somehow I can't. I am compelled to listen to the album in its entirety. Track after track after track, I was being drawn closer and closer to this frightening music but somehow I am beginning to LOVE what I am hearing! And just when I thought I had enough scared moments the last track finally was playing (If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day last track of side 1), convinced this would cool everything down Robert Johnson then YANKED HIS SLIDE BEYOND THE FRETBOARD TO PLAY AN EXTREMELY HIGH A MAJOR CHORD without breaking a sweat, without prior warning to the listeners. The cassette ends, and I was sweating like hell! But somehow I was so satisfied with what I heard. Several days later I saw in a high end magazine stand a copy of a music magazine from the US with an ad promoting Columbia's new Roots and Blues series, and the flagship of the project was Robert Johnson The Complete Recordings. As I am aware these records will never see local release in my country, I was forced to ask one of my classmates to buy me a copy of King Of The Delta Blues SIngers 1&2 on cassette on his vacation in Hong Kong. And when he came back, I listened to the two cassettes over and over. Then my mother bought me a copy of Guitar World with Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy on the cover with the transcription of Travelling Riverside Blues. I learned the song to the best of my abilities. Then I bought a back issue of Guitar Player with Adrian Belew on the cover that has an article on Robert Johnson by Jas Obrecht. All these things made me a blues fan, but somehow, my yardstick to great blues records will always be Robert Johnson. Nobody gave me that experience listening to music besides The Beatles and Queen. To this day, Robert Johnson is to me - a silent influence. A hero in my musical career. Robert Johnson will always be THE BLUES to me. Thank you ever so much Warren for featuring Robert Johnson. It seems you know who are the artists to feature that will really get my attention.

Peter Green played blues guitar with The John Nayall Blues Breakers and his love of traditional black blues led him to form The Fleetwood Mac Blues Band in 1967. Under Peter Greens influence Fleetwood Mac recorded "Hell Hound On My Trail "and "Sweet Home Chicago" by Robert Johnson, as mentioned in you video Peter Green's Splinter Group later in 2004? Recorded all of Robert Johnson's songs on two lP's. Peter was so much guided by early black blues that on a 3 day American tour break with Fleetwood Mac in 1968 or 69 went to Chicago and recorded a 2 LP set with Willie Dixon, Otis Span, Shakes Horton, J.T. Brown, Honey boy Brown, S.P. Leary and Buddy Guy. It had always been Peter Greens dream to play the blues with those that invented the sounds of poor black American's. Peter impressed his heroes to where Otis Span had Peter play on ONE of his lP's along with playing on Eddie Boyd's LP. Peter made a point of donating funds from music inspired by the originators of blues to help with their medical bills. Peter Green died in 2020_but he left behind much great music played by American black blues artists. Peter Green is considered as one of the best white blues guitarists by BB King and many others touched by his feel for the blues.

Thanks so much for that Warren. Louis Armstrong had a similar impact on the instrument and vocals that can’t be measured. Timeless and inspirational to legions of followers.

Excellent. I actually learned a few things I didn't know about Johnson which the last several things I've watched about him failed to do.

I thought Chuck Berry, Little Richard & Bo Diddley invented Rock n Roll. Robert was a virtuoso blues player, but Scrapper Blackwell can be argued as a bigger influence along with many others. I think RJ benefits from such a short lived and yet storied career. That also made him a target for newer artists as nobody in the mainstream would know the difference. And Sweet Home Chicago is actually Kokomo Blues, written by Scrapper Blackwell in the 20's.

Townez van zandt, Richard & Linda Thompson , Television, Merle Haggard, and The Who. All we’re ahead of their time. And changed music.

I have read so many books on the blues and other subjects where new evidence comes to light and you just never really know what the truth is. So many people are looking for a bit of attention so who and what can you trust. a really great post here and i guess it's as close to truth as we get. I guess that what makes a legend. Johnson certainly was.

I’d like to believe that an elderly woman who knew her step brother has nothing really to gain except maybe to bring the story back to her family. I love the book and find it very touching

When I was in France I walked into a music store...they had a 2CD Robert Johnson pack and I played it all day on the campsite. Da Blues of all blues, but not in vain ;)

How can a PHD dissertation get on KZitem and have only 2 thumbs down? Congratulations on the the definitive definition of Robert Johnson's genius. Clarence White's impact on 60's acoustic guitar might be worth a look.
