by
Robert Johnson
Reading about the power inherent in Robert Johnson's music is one thing, but actually experiencing it is another matter entirely. The official 1998 edition of the original 1961 album was certainly worth the wait, remastered off the best quality original 78s available, of far superior quality to any of the source materials used on even the 1991 ...

The Rough Guide to Delta Blues
(2002)

by
Various Artists
A fantastic compilation that really does span the length of Mississippi Delta blues, from the early days of the Mississippi Sheiks and Charley Patton (with the classic "High Water Everywhere Part One") through to the modern but equally rooted sounds of Asie Payton, R.L. Burnside, and the late Junior Kimbrough. And it's every bit as thorough in ...

At the Crossroads: The Blues of Robert Johnson

by
John Hammond, Jr.
If Robert Johnson could look down from heaven or up from hell, he'd likely find it very interesting that John Hammond, Jr. had covered his songs. Here is a white guy, after all, who sounds like a black blues singer and chooses -- of his own free will -- to frequently return to the repertoire of an obscure black guitarist/singer from the 1930s. At ...

Slide Guitar: Streamline Special
(1998)

by
Various Artists
Although the idea behind Slide Guitar: Streamline Special is a little muddy, it is nevertheless a good sampler that demonstrates the versatility of the slide guitar. Because of licensing agreements, the collection sticks to the Columbia vaults, bypassing such slide greats as Elmore James. Then again, with the exception of Muddy Waters, the ...

Although there are dozens of collections like this on the market, there is really no reason to get anything other than the double-disc Complete Recordings on Columbia. It has the best sound, the best annotation, and everything is there. Steve Leggett, All Music Guide

A Proper Introduction to Robert Johnson: Cross Road Blues

by
Robert Johnson
This single-disc, 29-track collection of Robert Johnson's blues is yet another in the countless dozens that have already been issued. While it adds nothing new -- simply because there is nothing new to add -- the package is attractive, the price is right, and the sound is as good as the Sony CDs. The other plus for a novice would be that there are ...

Another budget-priced quickie that serves as a reminder that Johnson recorded some of the most important sides in the history of the blues. Interested listeners should invest in Columbia's seminal double-disc Complete Recordings instead. Brian Beatty, All Music Guide

Complete Collection
(1998)

by
Robert Johnson
Robert Johnson's recordings were made in the 1930s, but they did not become widely known until the 1960s, and did not achieve mass popularity until the 1990s, with the release of Columbia/Legacy's box set The Complete Recordings. Due to the age of the recordings, however, they are in the public domain in Europe, so any record label can simply copy ...
