Walking Blues - Withnailus

Walking Blues a song inspired about the bluesman Robert Johnson who was said to have sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads to became able to play, sing and create the greatest blues anyone had ever heard.

Born May 8, 1911 he died on August 16, 1938 he was an American blues musician, among the most famous of Delta blues musicians. His landmark recordings from 1936 - 1937 display a remarkable combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that have influenced generations of musicians. Johnson's shadowy, poorly documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to much legend.

Considered by some to be the "Grandfather of Rock 'n' Roll", his vocal phrasing, original songs, and guitar style have influenced a broad range of musicians, including Muddy Waters, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Johnny Winter, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton, who called Johnson "the most important blues singer that ever lived". He was also ranked fifth in Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.

Walking Blues.

I sold my soul to the Devil
He put it in his little black book
I sold my soul to the devil, he never took another look

I sold my soul to the Devil
He put it in his little black book
I sold my soul to the devil, I never took another look

You can take my broom won't sweep the room
I'll come in your kitchen if you please
I'm a rolling man got one last deal going to go down on my knees

You got the blues, I got the news, I won't be here too long

Oh I keep walking baby
Hellhound on my trail
