The white blues guitarist Eric Clapton dedicated to the god father of the blues, Robert Johnson, original of which there are only 41 songs and who died much too early, an album. His title as own a emotionalism and depth that a pact with the devil, he was accused of. But back to the album. Clapton is lacking in recent years of creativity and it is based on the favorite on his models - most recently at BB King ("Riding With The King"). Of course Clapton can not reach, the intensity of the template. Because the songs Robert Johnsons are spartan received, mostly he and his guitar. By contrast Clapton inflates the songs with rock drums, harmonica, wind instruments, keyboard on, among other things. Not that all this would sound bad - on the contrary. It runs very respectable from the affair. Because of these requirements have been other attempts, such as Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones. And if this album is only to there, the average amateur Blueser, except of John Lee Hooker, BB King or Clapton little known so far, Robert Johnson to get close, then yes is already much recovered.
