Contracted to the Devil

Search: Preachin Blues (Up Jumped The Devil)
by: Robert Johnson

Release Date August 05, 2002
If this guy could have been handed an electric guitar, nobody would give a damn about Hendrix. Even if you're not used to hearing proper acoustic blues, make the effort and you'll be blown away by how much a man could achieve with only his voice, his guitar and one crackly track to get the song down on. I guess that selling your soul to the devil is cheating a bit though...
I give this particular compilation only 4 stars because, although a good introduction to one of the greatest musicians ever, there are other comps with everything he did, and for not much more dough. So forget your limp emo or skater-punk nonsense and discover this cool bloke.

King of the Delta Blues Singers Vol. II

Search: Preachin Blues (Up Jumped The Devil)
by: Robert Johnson

Release Date August 09, 2004
I am really pleased that this second volume has come out at last, as I remember getting both volumes when they came out first time round as LPs with their great artwork, which has been faithfully reproduced. But what has really amazed me is the quality of the remastered sound, even better than that on the first volume which was very good. Every nuance of Johnson's voice and guitar work has been reproduced, so you really feel you are there in that San Antonio hotel room. Included on both volumes are alternative versions of songs which are fascinating to hear, as they are quite different in parts and (to me) show that Johnson was very prone to improvise, which is contrary to the view expressed in the sleeve notes.
