Today we celebrate the 100th anniversary of birthday of Robert Johnson. Work of this remarkable yet mysterious guitarist for many is the source of each sound, which, since its the only recordings made in 1936 and 1937 He was played on guitar. Probably too simplistic, but it is certainly one of the fathers of modern jazz guitar playing and rock and blues primarily. Never probably not going to stop the discussions, who is more important. These classifications are needed only to understand that today's music has its roots and are important for musicologists and cultural historians. Certainly Robert Johnson should be put in series with the other three major artists in the history of electric guitar, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhard and Les Paul.
Nam, listeners are enough good music recordings. And the Robert Johnson left a little. In total, 29 tracks plus a few alternate versions. All of these recordings, his own compositions, sometimes based, as in his day, at times in the folk songs of unknown authorship. Many of these are still the greatest of all time blues hits that everyone needs to know the guitarist who wants to show up on any mouth with his guitar. It's hard to imagine a picture of today's blues without the multiple interpretations Sweet Home Chicago, Ramblin 'On My Mind, Love In Vain, and Dust My Broom. One of the biggest hits of the supergroup Cream - Crossroads was composed by Eric Clapton on the basis of Cross Road Blues Robert Johnson.
life story of Robert Johnson is rich in extraordinary legend. For inspiration for his work to admit the greatest guitarists of all time, including Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Peter Green. His compositions were recorded virtually all well-known blues and jazz guitarists. These works also became a staple of the jazz repertoire, they are reminded, inter alia, by Cassandra Wilson.
Eric Clapton in 2004, releasing album Me And Mr.. Johnson contains only compositions of Robert Johnson called it the most important blues musician of all time. Peter Green has recorded two albums, which include his own interpretations of the compositions of Robert Johnson - The Robert Johnson Songbook "and" Hot Foot Powder. Keith Richards for many years, could not believe hearing the recordings of Robert Johnson, that this game is only one guitarist. The band The Rolling Stones still playing often jubilarian songs at concerts.
Rolling Stone magazine put Robert Johnson on 5 list of the 100 most important guitarists of all time. In the 70 years after his death. Two years later, the portal guitar.com put Robert Johnson on the 9th place among the top 50 players.
