amazing music amazing important point in history you can feel it when you listen to him i dont anyone FORCES them to listen to this it is a blessing to have had him to record tis great quality music on primitive recording equipment thank you for the post
This Robert Johnson dude has the vintage look & sound down pat! He’s obviously extensively studied the old blues guys from the 20’s & 30’s. I’ve never heard of him before, probably because he needs to get better management & public relations. Like, where’s the magazine & TV interviews, & live performance clips? He could be big. But I bet he listens to rap when he’s by himself at home.
I think that's a flawed argument, so I'm not sure how I could respond. If someone played this song for me, without telling me who the artist was, I would still enjoy it very much - and I'm sure the same is true for most. People don't watch, listen, click like or leave comments just because of the name associated with the song.
@AngryOBrien All im saying is that it's overrated because he's a blues legend and pioneer from the 30s. It shouldnt show up on all-time greatest songs lists.
@ram0000100 It's foolish to judge a song on what has come after it. You judge a song on what came before it. Nobody was making songs quite like Robert Johnson during his lifetime. This song is timeless. Most modern music is like paper plates, use it for a while then throw it away and get another one just like the one you just got rid of. This song made ripples in music that in many ways are still present today. What pop star today will have that sort of influence?
@ram0000100 Of course not---they'd be too busy listening to Beyonce, Katy Perry, Nickelback, and other fools who need AutoTune in order to "sing." Robert Johnson is too raw, too damn real. Hell---Elvis is too raw and real for kids today.
@ram0000100 Plan on seeing Keb' Mo' soon. I'm hoping he'll have this in his set. So yes, some of us not only would care for it, we'll drive hours just to hear it!
Artist-Rosedale (Billy Smart Band) Album-Woogie Boogie Song-Come On In My Kitchen
now that is one amazing cover! he's also covered stop breakin down; robert johnson is the father of the boogie, & you absolutley cannot say that man isn't talented
@ram0000100 Some of us would. But you're right, your generation is full of a bunch of (how do I say this politely?)....nevermind I can't say anything nice.
@ram0000100 I wonder, how many ppl can sing and play as good as Robert Johnson did in 30's ? There're loads of cover of RJ's blues in YT, most of which are mediocre. Enlight me if you happen to know one with RJ's talent.
@ram0000100 hmmm, could be true of the ignroant mouth breathing iPod slinging cellphone lugging walmart crowd. You know, kids. Us grown ups listen, y'all babies don't listen to nothing but trash.
@ram0000100 yes, you are probably right , because these days people only listen to well mixed end tuned music. and this music is pure, straight from the soul!
@ram0000100 this is an amazing song. yes the recording and the playing is simple, but the melody and the riffs are so so beautiful... so many have played this song for these 80 years after RJ and for me personally only TWO have done it better and the have both loaned most of the stuff from the original, just played it a bit better , with more instruments etc. That's Johnny Winter - a great version with a flute solo and Crooked Still - a folk band with an amazing singer.
@ram0000100 WOW, ignorance is striking again!!! Guy this man invented a way of playing the acoustic guitar, that guitarists from Clapton to Cooder tried to imitate but failed. The sound quality is good, but it's from the 1930's, it lack the superfluous background and decorative effects and sounds. This is raw blues. These lyrics are full of meaning; that style for playing the guitar...Eric Clapton said that he trained to master Johnson's style for over 30 years but he failed!!!
@ram0000100 Besides, if you hear to the song with good attention you'll say there are two guitar players in the song. Well it's Mr. Johnson playing alone. He could play the guitar so that it sounded like a guitar and a bass were playing. I don't think there's anyone who could play this song nowadays. If you don't like it, don't listen to it, but don't mess with Mr. Johnson. Please.
@DonFixote100 id have to disagree. While i give him respect for his legacy or what not. He is not really doing much with the guitar other than playing the notes in accordance with the lyrics. Sounds like someone who doesent really understand how to play guitar but understands music theory....JMO. Also, to make that two guitar sound, as you say is so hard to duplicate, i suggest you see dave matthews play.
I just happen to love this song, it might just be my favorite song ever. for those of you who don't think anyone would like this song today check out the live version done by the allman brothers in 1990. another awesome version was done around 1970 by delaney and bonnie with duane allman adding his killer slide guitar. both versions can be found here on the tube.
@ram0000100 nope, I listen 'cause the damn song if a damn sight better than the shit you kids listen to. Hell oingo boingo is better than the crap on teh radio these days.
Oh good grief! This is a song about an old girlfriend he had betrayed,(& she had left him for the man she knew before). Now, she has shown up at his backdoor pregnant & friendless. Instead of turning her away, he say's he understands her plight, and will take her in.
Easier to understand the lyrics if you are a Southerner, but it's really a beautiful song and worth the effort to hear the poetry here.
Robert Johnson is the founder of all and i mean all modern blues. anybody you like that is from 1950 on influenced by Robert Johnson. there is not mistaking the best ever
@prestorjohn26 Robert Johnson was mostly irrelevant until he was rediscovered by Clapton in the 60s. His recordings were very archaic even by the standards of 1936; most contemporary musicians had moved on to jazz.
1950s bluesmen were mostly influenced by jazz, particularly Charlie Christian.
Were you said in your description, ''Hopefully the images reflect the general feel of it'' ... Absolutely my friend fucking brilliant and fucking beautiful .....
i've got white blues.. slavery in manchester, the calling of a village..... where i am shouting "No.. i am not" to the crowds of mindless people carrying mental illness around the streets
You inspired so many.....Clapton, Keith, and so many more to chop wood with their axes. But mostly, you inspired me cause I know you didn't make a deal but rather worked your ass off.......no shortcuts. Thanx Pops.
Thanks for posting this - one of my favorite Robert Johnson songs. A traveling companion of his tells the story of Robert playing this song to a room full of people, and by the end of the song, everyone was crying. It did that to me when I first heard it, so I can easily believe the story. I have some raw 2011 era blues on my channel. Check it out if you can.
Well, there's no way to make this song better. "Come On In My Kitchen" is not only the best blues song ever, it damn well may be second only to "Amazing Grace" (No, I'm not a Christian, yes that song still rocks). However, you did amazingly better than putting up an album cover or something stupid like that. I really dig this! So from me to you, thank you for putting a bit of time into a proper video for a great song! :)
I have just started listening to jazz and blues recently and that was a truly amazing track. Thanks for the video as said rightly so by many a great video
these arnt offical photos of robert johnson,maybe his family from and uncles and friends,theres no actual photos of him theres olny two the one on the album and the one were he looks kinda lizard like,the backgrounds yellow and the one with the ciggertte to
@MUSICNATURE6 Thanks for your input, although no one had claimed any of these photos were official or supposed to be of RJ's family/friends. I just chose them to reflect the feel of the song and the time and locality it was made in.
@MUSICNATURE6 There's 3 authenticated photos now - the most recently emerged 3 years ago, maybe less (I just saw it first this year). He's holding his guitar and standing with Johnny Shines, a good friend and fellow musician. Robert's face is convincing enough, but when you look at those distinctive elegant hands with long fingers...well, there's no doubt. Check my channel for some good raw blues, btw. Hope you like the music.
In those times it was ok to do songs about women in the kitchen

Bend your body to the heavens above

Just bring your money next saturday night

@MUSICNATURE6 Thanks for your input, although no one had claimed any of these photos were official or supposed to be of RJ's family/friends. I just chose them to reflect the feel of the song and the time and locality it was made in.

@MUSICNATURE6 There's 3 authenticated photos now - the most recently emerged 3 years ago, maybe less (I just saw it first this year). He's holding his guitar and standing with Johnny Shines, a good friend and fellow musician. Robert's face is convincing enough, but when you look at those distinctive elegant hands with long fingers...well, there's no doubt. Check my channel for some good raw blues, btw. Hope you like the music.

@RohamK96 - 666 was a brand of cough syrup owned by the Monticello drug company. Thanks for the comment.

Hey Louise - you might try and find a version that Cat Power did for BBC Radio a few years back. Gravely-voiced loveliness :)

Mostly from Shorpy's and by searching for vintage photos on Google. Shorpy's was a great resource, I'd suggest checking it out!
