Description

A cornerstone of American music history, King Of The Delta Blues Singers captures the haunting brilliance of Robert Johnson’s 1936–1937 recordings. This 2×LP reissue from DOL presents both volumes in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, pressed on HQ virgin 180 gram vinyl for optimal fidelity.

Johnson’s raw vocal delivery and intricate guitar work laid the foundation for generations of blues and rock musicians. From the mythic Crossroads Blues to the aching Love In Vain, this set is a masterclass in lyrical intensity and rhythmic innovation. The alternate takes and lesser-known gems on sides C and D offer deeper insight into his singular artistry.
