Description:

This two-CD box contains all 41 recordings Johnson made, including 12 alternate takes, and each cut remains a classic. This set's release in 1990 caused quite a stir, selling more than 500,000 copies, and, on the basis of endorsements from Eric Clapton and Keith Richards, introduced a great number of rock fans to Delta blues. Amazingly, Johnson built his enormous legacy on the strength of just two recording sessions: the first session, in November of 1936, produced among others "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom," "Sweet Home Chicago," "Cross Road Blues," and "Walkin' Blues," making it perhaps the most influential single session in blues history. --Marc Greilsamer

5The standard by which all other blues is measured  Jul 24, 2009
This is an amazing peak into 1930's blues. RJ is so clean, so fluid, so soulful. 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!

5A Must-Have for Blues Fans  Jun 25, 2009
How can one describe the guitar playing and singing of Robert Johnson? Simply amazing. He can play with such complicated style, it's no wonder he was accused of selling his soul to the Devil. 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.

5King of Rock & Roll  Jun 13, 2009
Robert Johnson inspired most of the Rock Stars Today. His song Cross Roads Blues was covered by Eric Clapton's Cream as Crossroads. Listening to this collection explains why he is considered one of the best Delta blues players.

5Robert Johnson is the Blues  May 25, 2009
Robert Johnson Complete Recordings: This is the only RJ recording to own. It has every song and take he every recorded. 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.

5Travel on, poor Bob.  Apr 29, 2009
Robert Johnson was one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) blues performers of all time. This collection features ALL the known recordings that he made, which is 29 songs plus alternate takes. The alternate takes are all noticeably different from the "regular" takes, with some of the lyrics changed. This is great stuff.
