Synopsis

Album Description

2008 three CD set featuring two discs of Peter Green's award-winning recordings of bluesman Robert Johnson classics plus a third disc containing Johnson's own recordings of the songs that made him a legend. The 29 songs that Robert Johnson recorded in various Texas hotel rooms in 1936 and 1937 are amongst the most significant and influential works in the history of Blues music. It was thus very appropriate that it was to these landmark songs that Peter Green turned when recording the two albums which have done so much to re-launch his career, 1998's The Robert Johnson Songbook and 2000's Hot Foot Powder. These records showed a real return to form for the founder of Fleetwood Mac and one of the greatest ever white Blues guitarists.

CD Reviews

Great Bargain on a Limited Edition!

deepbluereview | SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA USA | 08/15/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a nicely packaged 3 CD set that essentially contains all of the songs contained on both "Hot Foot Powder" and "The Robert Johnson Song Book" with the addition of two songs, "Terraplane Blues" and "Kind Hearted Woman Blues", that were left off of the "Robert Johnson Song Book" CD. The addition of those songs completes Green's rendition of all 29 Robert Johnson songs. As an added bonus, you receive a third disc which features Robert Johnson performing all 29 original tunes. If you were to buy the two Green CD's mentioned above, the price for those two disc's alone would equal the price of this 3 CD set. Adding to the bargain is the fact that each set comes individually numbered and is limited to 10,000 copies.Musically, Peter Green and long time friend Nigel Watson have assembled their Splinter Group to perform this tribute to Robert Johnson.Both of the CD's are probably the closest and best rendition of Robert Johnson in it's pure form that you are likely to hear. No fancey fret work or screeming vocals, just down home style delta blues. It's hard to imagine how one could go wrong with this purchase...."

Just in case this hasn't been made obvious:

"Perhaps this hasn't been stressed enough: The first two discs are Green+ Splinter Group + Special Guests' interpretations of -every- Robert Johnson song -ever- recorded,-29-,(the rest of the 44 cuts available elsewhere are alternate takes), the third disc has the -same- 29, but it's the original Robert Johnson recordings! (If you have the first release of the 2-cd Robert Johnson box, you'll find this cd to be -much- better sounding). By the time you're here looking, you -want- this."
