Tommy Johnson sold his soul to the devil, and this is what he got. He wasn't the best of guitar players, he wasn't the best singers, he didn't make the best tunes, but his eerie falsetto voice and his complicated guitar licks make this Complete Recordings very worthwhile. The Tommy Johnson in O Brother, Where Art Thou? is based on this Tommy Johnson and not on the more famous Robert Johnson as a lot of people think.Canned Heat took their name and their most famous song from Tommy Johnson and Bonnie Raitt paid for a headstone on his grave, so his influence in music is not to be underestimated. Enjoy this very raw, early document of recorded Delta blues.
cool drink of water blues
