Kind Hearted Woman Blues
This was Robert Johnson’s very first release on 78rpm.
“Kind Hearted Woman Blues” clearly shows the influence of Leroy Carr and is especially notable for featuring a guitar solo by Johnson unlike anything else he ever recorded. The song later became a blues standard, famously covered by Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, and many others.
“Terraplane Blues” is one of the earliest blues songs to use the automobile as a metaphor for a woman. Over a powerful yet springy guitar, Johnson sings with such force that his high notes almost distort. A true classic that fully captures the dynamic intensity of his performance.
[[Selling Points]]- Robert Johnson’s very first 78rpm release
- Includes a unique, one-of-a-kind guitar solo
- Two of his most iconic and influential recordings
