The standard by which all other blues is measured
RJ is so clean, so fluid, so soulful. This is an amazing peak into 1930's blues. He's head and shoulders above pretty much all other recordings from this era. As a blues musician myself it's really inspired me to keep pressin' forward and strivin' to perfect my craft. I can lay on the couch on any given rainy day and listen to this on my ipod all day long!.


A Must-Have for Blues Fans
He can play with such complicated style, it's no wonder he was accused of selling his soul to the Devil. How can one describe the guitar playing and singing of Robert Johnson? Simply amazing. And his throaty voice matches the style so brilliantly. His songwriting is also excellent, especially on "They're Red Hot" and "Come ON In My Kitchen. " Blues fans, get this set. You won't regret it.


King of Rock & Roll
His song Cross Roads Blues was covered by Eric Clapton's Cream as Crossroads. Robert Johnson inspired most of the Rock Stars Today. Listening to this collection explains why he is considered one of the best Delta blues players.


Robert Johnson is the Blues
It has every song and take he every recorded. Robert Johnson Complete Recordings: This is the only RJ recording to own. The sound quality is the best I have heard of this material. RJ is a master of the finger style of playing, it sounds like 2 players but he is solo. His vocals are absolutely the saddest and true to this material.
Accept no Substitute. Over half of this material has been covered over and over.


Travel on, poor Bob.
This collection features ALL the known recordings that he made, which is 29 songs plus alternate takes. Robert Johnson was one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) blues performers of all time. The alternate takes are all noticeably different from the "regular" takes, with some of the lyrics changed. This is great stuff.
