Many of those songs are here in printed form for the first time, as an only monument to a pristine era never to happen again.

Robert Johnson è considerato uno dei più grandi artisti blues di tutti i tempi. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ci sono “I Believe I Dust My Broom” e “Sweet Home Chicago”, quest’ultimo uno dei capisaldi della musica blues. Secondo la leggenda, Johnson acquisì il suo straordinario talento musicale siglando un patto con il diavolo. Morì all’età di 27 anni per sospetto avvelenamento, sebbene la verità sulla sua morte resti tutt’oggi un mistero irrisolto... “La Leggenda di Robert Johnson” racchiude l’intera opera del famoso bluesman nelle versioni originali scritte da Johnson.
