      Robert Johnson is the foundation to which all other Blues artists have built their career on. He was re-packaged and sold back to America in many versions including: The Rolling Stones, Cream, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. He had influence on Bob Dylan in the 1960's which was over 2 decades since his ing. He is still mentioned on the Greatest Guitarists of All-time. I will say that these recordings/versions may not be the best there is to offer, but the more you listen to them the better that become.
