LP - Limited Edition 180g Black Vinyl featuring the complete album + 3 Bonus tracks (2025 Number One Essentials Reissue). 

The legendary Robert Johnson (1911-1938) stands at the crossroads of American music, becoming the first modern bluesman to progress and evolve the country blues style of the Mississippi Delta.

Johnson was a songwriter of searing depth and a guitar player with a commanding ability that inspired every blues artist that followed in his wake. In fact, several songs from this album were repeatedly covered throughout the blues-rock explosion of the Sixties, most notably by Eric Clapton, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and ZZ Top, among many others.
