Is this a giant joke? All of this sounds absolutely terrible. Maybe it sounded original when it came out but he's been outclassed by literally everyone else who's pickled up an instrument and played the blues.

I think a lot of Robert Johnson's fans just fall in love with the legend of him selling his soul to the devil.

To be honest, I don't listen to him a whole lot for similar reasons: the music often sounds very jarring and can be hard to hear the first few times around.

What I say somewhat redeems him is the absolute pain and suffering you hear in his music.

Side note: Me and The Devil Blues is a badass manga based off of Robert Johnson. You shouldn check it out.

but honestly listen to people covering him and i think you will understand him

You have to be in the right state of mind to appreciate it. Sometimes I would never want to here it and other times I'm in the perfect mood for it.

it's comfy

maybe you should ask fantano

I think that a lot of other of the country bluesmens' music has aged better. I listen to Blind Willie Johnson, Skip James, Charley Patton, Mississippi John Hurt, etc, because I actually want to listen to their music. Listening to Robert Johnson feels like a history project.
