A Great Archive Let Down By Sequencing

Advantages: Fidelity is great, songwriting, guitar playing and vocals superb, thorough research
Disadvantages: Sequencing - the track order is frustrating

...music fans a like. The Complete Robert Johnson comes across like a standards song book, the contents of which has given birth to numerous cover versions from acclaimed and esteemed bluesmen and rockers from across the globe spanning six decades.

Everything about this track is outstanding and needs to be heard. 4.) Somebody's been sleeping in my bed A track that gives goosebumps and shivers down the spine with the blues melody. The guitar work is superb and his vocals are strong and ...
