Robert Johnson possessed extraordinary talent and skill. He was considered a bit odd and eccentric at this time, but in reality he wasn't. It was just his style of playing. Some of his so called oddities were that Johnson turned from the audience while in the middle of playing, would leave suddenly from the stage during a performance, and sometimes even during breaks in his set. But he was one blues musician who mesmerised the audience with his music but his wordings. During Robert Johnson's time these were considered oddities but these days they are not and some musicians actually do these things today like Edward Van Halen to hide their techniques from other guitarists or to avoid being mobbed by the audience. Some of my favorite songs by him were "Hell-Hound On My Trail", "Me And The Devil Blues" and "Cross Road Blues". If you like blues music, and you are able to find his music in stores, give Robert Johnson a try. I am sure you will get hooked on to his style. His music will simply mesmerise you and submerse you in a different world.
