Re:10 Early Artists Who Defined the Blues 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
I agree that Leadbelly shouldn't be there.
And Warren is quite right Bobby points the way with Patton and McTell.
But about Robert Johnson.
I got the complete recordings (1 cd, 22 ? tracks) years ago.
On the basis of the reputation. From Bobby. Also the loathsome Keef and El Clappo.
All of them said he was the best.
So I listened and listened. Didn't get it. Didn't get it.
I was in Kathmandu, it was wonderful then a dollar a cd.
Got El Clappo 'Me and Mr Johnson'.
An MTV CD for WASPS.
In the Buddha bar I was watching a footy game. Nepal v Bhutan.
I asked but nobody knew what the score was!
So , if you can't beat them, join them!(ED
Burnt a few.
Then, put on the Robert Johnson cd. Well, obviously, there's a context here, but it was like
the first time I heard him. Made complete sense.
And I think he's rightly up there. Despite all that crossroads shyte. And the newish legend.
My current favs are Son House. 'John The Revelator' scares me to death!
If Son House says it's Sunday. It's Sunday!
Also loving Lightnin' Hopkins at the moment.

Just my thoughts.
