Has anyone heard about Robert Johnson?
no?
i hadn't either till yesterday , but it turns out he is the greatest Blues musician.
The amazing thing about him is that he only started recording three years before his death. He recorded 29 tracks in 2 session and all of them are considered as the benchmark for Blues music.
He would have been still unknown if it wasn't for various artists and bands who have covered his songs. Some of them are:
Eric Clapton ( who has a whole album of his songs Me and Mr Johnson) , The Rolling Stones , Bob Dylan , Fleetwood Mac , Peter Green Splinter Group , Red Hot Chili Peppers , The White Stripes and many many more.
Other bands who have claimed to big fans Of Robert Johnson are Led Zeppelin and Cream.
