Delta Blues Shorts
Description: The Delta Blues Design celebrates one of the earliest known styles of blues music popularised by artists like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. Originating in the Mississippi Delta, Delta blues is regarded as a regional variant of country blues and provided the inspiration for Chicago Blues and the British skiffle.
Description: Robert Johnson was an itinerant Delta blues singer and guitarist who lived from 1911 to 1938. He recorded 29 songs between '36 and ‘37 for the American Record Corporation, which released eleven 78rpm records on their Vocalion label during Johnson's lifetime, and one after his death. Like many bluesmen of his day, Johnson plied his craft on street corners and in juke joints, ever rambling and ever lonely, all while writing songs that romanticized that existence. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Johnson accomplished this with such an unprecedented intensity, marrying his starkly expressive vocals with a guitar mastery, that his music has endured beyond his short life.
