Canned Heat BluesTommy Johnson

Canned Heat Blues (Remastered)

Tommy Johnson is known as a bluesman who was deeply involved in the early formation of Delta blues.

Many musicians, including Howlin’ Wolf, have openly said they were influenced by him, and like Robert Johnson, he reportedly told the legend himself that he “sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads.” One of his recordings from August 1928 is a song about his own ruinous lifestyle.

Its shocking subject is that, during Prohibition when alcohol was unavailable, he drank denatured alcohol instead; despite the lively tempo, the sorrow of self-destruction hits hard.

With its haunting falsetto and skillful guitar work, it possesses an allure as if the very magic of the blues resides within it.

It’s also known for inspiring the name of the later blues-rock band Canned Heat.

This is a perfect piece for anyone who wants to feel the soul’s cry that dwells at the roots of rock.
