Robert Johnson - King Of The Delta Blues Singers - Limited 180-Gram Vinyl with Bonus Tracks - VINYL LP

The legendary Robert Johnson (1911-1938; he was 27 years old when he died) stands at the crossroads of American music. He became the first modern bluesman, evolving the country blues 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. The blues giant's legacy is deeply enveloped in myth. Several songs from this set were repeatedly covered throughout the blues-rock explosion of the Sixties by many artists, notably Eric Clapton, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and ZZ Top, among many others.

The adventures continue and the Bonham legacy, handed down from drummer father (Led Zep's late, very great John InchBonzoInch Bonham) to drummer son, (Jason) endures with When You See the Sun. This collection of 12 songs, produced with Marti Frederiksen (who has worked with an all-star roster of rock legends including Foreigner, Aerosmith and Brother Kane), signifies the hard-edged, melodic and lyrically evocative style that has become the Jason Bonham Band's trademark. 1st radio track InchDrown in Me.Inch

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing including bonus tracks. The legendary Robert Johnson stood at the crossroads of American music. He became the first modern bluesman, evolving the country blues of the Mississippi Delta during the 1930s. Johnson's life came to a premature and mysterious end in 1938, at the age of 27. By the late 1950s he had become something of a mythical figure. Some people had heard of him, but few had listened to his music. That all changed when this essential LP, King of the Delta Blues Singers, was compiled and released by Columbia in 1961. The album contains sixteen mono recordings that were originally made during two extended sessions in 1936 and 1937, and sparked a whole new generation's interest in Delta blues. It also became the first album to be inducted by the Blues Foundation into the Blues Hall of Fame. In addition to the original long play, this WaxTime collector's edition contains two bonus tracks - consisting of master takes waxed during the same dates and previously issued by Vocalion as 78s InchI Believe I'll Dust My BroomInch (which years later served as inspiration for Elmore James to write and perform his InchDust My BroomInch rendition) and the classic InchSweet Home Chicago.Inch
