DELTA BLUES AND THE LEGEND OF ROBERT JOHNSON


Hi everyone and welcome back. Today I’m going to talk about an interesting story,  the legend of Robert Johnson and Delta Blues.

Delta blues is one of the earliest-known styles of blues; it originated in the Mississippi Delta, and is a regional variation of country blues. Guitar and harmonica are its dominant instruments and a slide was usually used. In 1930s there weren’t steel slides so bluesmen used bottlenecks to play their guitars. Vocal styles in Delta blues range from introspective and soulful to passionate and fiery.
