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…

ROBERT JOHNSON
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.
