the legend about robert johnson selling his soul to the devil is definitely top 1 coolest celebrity rumours of all time honestly we don't go that hard with those anymore

Robert Johnson may or may not have sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads. Who am I to judge. This is THE Robert Johnson LP, the one all the British blues rock artists were listening to and stealing moves from in the ‘60s. This is the first vintage copy I’ve ever run across, and it’s in perfect shape. Adding it to my collection was an easy call 😌

Hypnotic slide guitar and an eerie atmosphere that never lets go.
