Thanks for those classic blues tracks, Merkurie. They're all good, but Johnson's voice and guitar haunt you for hours.
Robert Johnson is kinda haunting.

Jamie Woon...:)
I've gigged with him a couple of times. Lovely guy and very creative.Quote:

If you're interested at all in the possibilities of acoustic guitar playing, he was a master. I only hope that some of his genius has rubbed off on my own playing - I used to spend hours trying to emulate his sound while listening to his albums on vinyl, thankfully now mostly available on CD. He was perhaps best known as one of the two guitar mainstays of Pentangle, along with John Renbourn.
This is his take on Anji, not his composition but he makes it his own. And as a fellow Glaswegian, I mourn his passing all the more. God's listening to some glorious guitar in heaven tonight. Sleep well, big man.
