  3. Robert Johnson 2nd take Crossroads acetate discovered

    'Uploaded by sound restorer Nick Dellow, it was originally made in 1940 straight from the metal master by Columbia Records producer George Avakian, who would go on to work with everyone from Miles Davis to Edith Piaf to John Cage...perhaps the unprecedented clarity of this recording will get the hair of young musicians and mature connoisseurs alike standing on end'

  8. Everything we know, we learnt from Robert Johnson.
    The crossroads is what makes life worth living. Never stand still. Constant revolution. Otherwise there’s no music, no art, no real life. We all sell our souls at some point. The important thing is to sell them for the right reasons. Nobody can have it all – but you can have rock ’n’ roll, if you let yourselves.

    "Seminal blues historian Elijah Wald says that Robert Johnson didn't learn how to incorporate the occult into his poetry and project his macho stage persona from the devil himself. It was from, among others, the man who called himself 'The Devil's Son-in-Law', Peetie Wheatstraw.

  10. Me and Mr. Johnson

    Slowhand's tribute to Delta blues legend Robert Johnson is released on March 23, 2004. The 14 covers are a "labor of love" and a long-held goal for Clapton to pay homage to one of his main musical influences. The band is a tad legendary, too -- Billy Preston on keyboards, Steve Gadd on drums, Nathan East on bass and Doyle Bramhall II. #ericclapton #slowhand #meandmrjohnson #blues #deltablues #robertjohnson #billypreston #stevegadd #music #musicsky

    King Of The Delta Blues Singers
    1963 Canada MONO reissue

    It’s been a grim last couple of days in the world, folks.
    In many places, for many reasons.

    It’s never been more important than it is right now to find your peace and solace any place you can.

    For me, that place has always been music, and right now, I can’t think of an album that sounds more like how I feel inside than THIS one.

    Monday night is a reset, courtesy of the great Robert Leroy Johnson.

    Happiest of vibes and holidays to all of you.
    Yer friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape loves you.

  25. Cowboy Junkies, Misguided Angel, 1989 on RCA

    Margo, Peter, and MIchael Timmons with Alan Anton were Cowboy Junkies. This EP came out alongside the Trinity Session album, with the lead single “Misguided Angel” from that session at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto, plus four live tracks recorded at the ROXY in Hollywood.

    Both “Sweet Jane” and “Walking After Midnight” were also on Trinity Session. The choice of songs: covering Lou Reed, Robert Johnson, and Patsy Cline, is a pretty good implication as to the sound of Cowboy Junkies.

    My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is a US promotional copy.
