Robert Johnson Phonograph Blues

from BackAlleyBlues · host backalleyblues

Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8, 1909/1912 to August 16, 1938) can arguably be considered as the most famous Delta blues singer and guitarist in history, even though he didn't live to see his thirtieth birthday and didn't start recording until three years before his death. Johnson died of pneumonia a week after being poisoned and shot for fooling around with a married woman.
