This is a discrce. The next vid I wanted to see was taken away because of copy right. Copyright by whom? The guy is long dead, now his music belongs to everybody.

@rutger5000 Copyright expired August 16, 2008... the Author's life plus 70 years... there better not be someone claiming copyright infringment!!

This song is great, can't stop crying about my ex!

I've heard it said, "To play the blues, one must have lived the blues." Well, the current US adminstration swelled the ranks of those that qualify.

@MarcoZucchi81 , he'd screw it up!

[MarcoZucchi81]

I' d like to hear Paul McCartney doing this stuff...

[louiseduvee]

This song gives me chills. I never get tired of it - esp. Take 1. Thank you:)

Aint but the one thang, make Mr. Johnson drink, I think about how you treat me baby i begin to think... AHHHH baby my love dont feel the same, you break my heart when you call mr so and so's name. My favorite part.

[richbruiser]

@beatleman that is not a hard-line rule.

[fivethumbsfrank]

@musiclover9361 absolutely you are correct I believe, the 'in tune' version of roberts songs are quite a bit slower, for example on that recording if you play along with guitar you can play in standard tuning. with the officially released versions you have to capo at the 2nd fret so that a whole step up...they did speed it up to fit at least that is the official theory.

[musiclover9361]

@fivethumbsfrank I understand Vocalion were notorious for speeding up records to make them more exciting. The two takes of Kindhearted Woman Blues are quite different; if you've had the chance to hear them both, perhaps you would agree?

Copyright belongs to Robert Johnson's estate. He had a son, Claude who is still alive. He also has grandchildren. His age at death was stated as 26, not 27. The instruction in the margin of the death certificate states quite clearly that the age must be given 'exactly'. I guess he wasn't born on May 8 1911 after all! Not sure how genuine the death certificate is, as it seems he was buried before it was issued (?). Is/was that allowed in the US in those days?
