The foundational Delta-blues recordings that influenced virtually everyone who followed, from the Stones to Clapton. Eerie and essential. Where the electric blues lineage begins. Represented by one record here. It's the right one.
On vinyl: Original pressings are collector's territory now, so most listeners reach for a well-reviewed reissue.
