Review by Marc de Vré

The Complete Recordings by Robert Johnson is a masterpiece of blues music that showcases the unmatched talent of the legendary musician. The album features all 29 of Johnson's recorded songs, including some of his most iconic tracks such as "Cross Road Blues" and "Love in Vain."

The album is a must-have for any blues enthusiast or music lover, as it provides a comprehensive look at Johnson's unique style and innovative guitar playing. The raw emotion and haunting lyrics of his songs are truly captivating, and his influence on modern music cannot be overstated.

The sound quality of The Complete Recordings is exceptional, thanks to the painstaking efforts of the producers who painstakingly remastered each track to bring out the best possible sound. The album is a testament to Johnson's enduring legacy and his enduring impact on the world of music.

Comments

Everything ever recorded by Robert Johnson is right here. And it is one fantastic set. As you listen to the music, you can only imagine the tortured soul that recorded this music. Legend has it he sold his soul at the crossroads in order to play guitar like he did. Some of this music is light in nature and some of it is downright frightening. The guitar playing is just unbelievable. It is hard to believe that one person did this without any overdubs. The booklet inside is also very informative with notes from Keith Richards and Eric Clapton. Because of the nature of the recordings, it sounds very rough. But, that is also part of the charm of this music. Overall, a superb box set.
