I remember once being invited to a Bible study group by a guy named Robert Johnson. Would I go to heaven if I said yes?

Anyway, I remember half a decade ago when I was just using BEA, and this also seemed like the blues compilation to like. But amidst my poptimist friends today, Robert Johnson is hardly brought up; they're much more excited about

The Complete Blind Willie Johnson by Blind Willie Johnson
and

The Key To The Kingdom by Washington Phillips

BEA, do you think it's just rockist myth-making that made this seem so great, or is this as great of a compilation as the others to you all?

No Charlie, Johnson is a genuine treasure, a fine guitarist and songwriter who's legacy is rightly deserved.

Shame this misses his very best song, 'Love in Vain'.

He'd take you to the crossroads and make you really good at the harp.
