This album was Robert Johnson's first 78 rpm release. "Kind Hearted Woman Blues" is a track that clearly shows the influence of Leroy Carr, and it features a guitar solo by Robert that has never been heard since. Covers by Muddy Waters and Eric Clapton are also famous. "Terraplane Blues" can be said to be one of the earliest blues songs, using a car as a metaphor for a woman. Over a powerful yet lightly bouncing guitar, he sings with such volume that the high notes distort. This is a masterpiece that allows you to fully enjoy his dynamic playing.
