Robert Johnson: Influences
Playlist - 15 Songs
Even as singular an artist as Robert Johnson doesn't develop in a vacuum. Though he defined Delta blues, he didn't invent it—and a listen to the doomy intensity and slashing slide of Son House's “Death Letter” and the ghostly, broken-hearted moan of Skip James' “Devil Got My Woman” illuminates the pathway that led to Johnson's simultaneously fierce and fluid sound.
