"Robert Johnson" Premium Unisex T Shirt

The King of the Delta Blues.

Robert Johnson recorded 29 songs. Twenty-nine. In two sessions, in 1936 and 1937, in a San Antonio hotel room and a Dallas warehouse, he laid down the entire foundation of modern rock and roll.

He was 27 years old when he died. The cause of death is still disputed. The legend — that he sold his soul at a Mississippi crossroads in exchange for his extraordinary guitar skills — has never been disproven to anyone's satisfaction.

What is not disputed: Eric Clapton called him "the most important blues musician who ever lived." Keith Richards heard his records and couldn't figure out how one man was playing all those parts at once. Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, and virtually every rock band that followed built their sound on the foundation Robert Johnson laid in those two sessions.

He was unknown in his lifetime. He is immortal now.

This shirt is for the people who know the story. And for the ones who are about to learn it.
