Robert Johnson at the Crossroads represents Delta blues the best
If I had to pick one person to represent Delta blues at the peak of its expression, it would be Robert Johnson . Saying that he was a superlative guitar player, impassioned singer and masterful lyricist seems barely adequate to convey the importance of the work he accomplished in his 27 years. Many of his songs became not only blues standards but would be a huge influence on rock music.
