Speed Adjusted Robert Johnson


Seems more natural.

Re: Speed Adjusted Robert Johnson

Both recordings are speed adjusted, I wasn't commenting on the second video by itself.
Hit the youtube icon and you will go to the page and you can select from a bunch of his songs.

Reminds me of Jimmy Rogers, who of course took this style from Delta Blues players. These are later than the recordings I have of his, J.R.s.
I have a CD set of Robert Johnson's that are a bit faster than these. These are an improvement, the adjusted versions on YouTube.

Modern technology - whatever next? I can't believe how clean the sound is. I'm not sure that I don't prefer the dirty, scratchy, faster originals though! - especially Hot Tamales which has an amazing energy in the original.

Re: Speed Adjusted Robert Johnson

Yeah, it's an entertaining tune, it jumps. I like the part about laying in the kitchen with her legs in the hall. The slower is easier to follow the lyric.
I haven't reviewed the CD set.
I think these versions sound good.
