Another Robert Johnson Crossover...
In 1936 Robert Johnson recorded Sweet Home Chicago during his first ever recording session which was with the American Record Corporation. It failed to be a big seller when released, but did gain popularity after his death in 1938. The song has been covered by many artists with Buddy Guy, Keb Mo, Fleetwood Mac, Foghat, and Eric Clapton being just a few. Sadly, it was Stevie Ray Vaughan's closing song at his final concert on Aug. 26, 1990 - later that same night he died in a helicopter crash.

Robert Johnson is very popular for inspiration to many musicians. I guess it is the poetry of his lyrics that inspires so many. Or maybe it is the raw power of his blues !

T-Bone Walker
Written and recorded in 1947 by jump- and electric-blues pioneer, T-Bone Walker, "Call it Stormy Monday (But Tuesday is Just as Bad)" reached #5 in 1948 on Billboard's Race Records chart. Generally shortened to "Stormy Monday", it was done in T-Bone's groundbreaking, electric-guitar blues style in which the singer is also his own lead guitarist - a defining sound of modern blues. T-Bone's classic licks and techniques can be recognized in many of today's great blues works by rock & roll virtuosos such as B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Chuck Berry, Robert Cray, and Eric Clapton.
