Robert Johnson - Kind Hearted Women Blues download song

This is definitely where rock n roll came from. In the 30s! Wow, if you could go back then in a time machine, you'd still be able to go to a rock show. Litttle Richard obviously heard this.

My dad was the same age age RJ & ran some of the same areas. I often wonder if they crossed paths in Deep Ellum.  

Why isn't there more blues like this played today? Just guitar and voice. It's perfect.

Lyrics: I got a kindhearted woman, do anything in this world for me I got a kindhearted woman, do anything in this world for me But these evil-hearted women, man, they will not let me be I love my baby, my baby don't love me I love my baby, my baby don't love me But I really love that woman, can't stand to leave her be Ain't but the one thing, makes Mister Johnson drink I's worried about how you treat me, baby, I begin to think Oh, babe, my life don't feel the same You breaks my heart, when you call Mister So-and-So's name She's a kindhearted woman, she studies evil all the time She's a kindhearted woman, she studies evil all the time You well's to kill me, as to have it on your mind

Blues the mother of all modern music

This is a classic! Don't freak out my surname has a T :-)

I'm going to stop practicing metal, rock, alternative music and pick up the Blues. Mr. Johnson has been becoming an inspiration due to my depression and all the bullshit I've been dealt. I'm going back to my roots. R.I.P. Mr. Johnson

imagine if he got discovered by a big record company and lived into his 70s

Did anybody notice how long his fingers are?!!

It's mentioned that when Mr. Johnson died, it was very possible that he was buried in a "potter's field" because of poverty.  I wonder how many people have capitalized off of his music since his death and how was made or is being preserved for someone's gain?  It's also mentioned that a recording company set a fund account to create a resting site near were he lived at the time of his known death.  They talk about how much Black folks were disconnected from the transatlantic slave trade. Well, as you can see, it happened long after that as well. Blues comes from suffering.  You can 't mimic it unless you lived it. Whether you're Black, White or other, it will reveal if you've lived his type of life.

I've owned these recordings for years. Recently I had the chance to really seriously listen to them. Everyone should do the same because I don't understand how one guitar player on a cheap acoustic​ guitar, without overdubs, could do what he did. How did he play shuffle type rhythms with his thumb and improvise with his remaining fingers while singing? The independence that he showed is crazy. Sometimes I think he did make the deal.

may have sold his soul to the devil but god gave him those hands

"You break my heart when you call Mr. So and So's name." Fantastic line.

When I first heard this song, I immediately learn it in 3 days and plays all the note perfectly Then I woke up

Thank you Eric Clapton for bringing this man's true talents to surface and not forgotten!!! And a definite thanks to Robert Leroy Johnson for existing even if it were in painful times. The music makes me a little sad, thinking about how these people existed and gathered strength to survive what they went through. The music just pours sadness and it's unable to be ignored.

As Martin Scorsese said "The thing about Robert Johnson was that he only existed on his records. He was pure legend". and that's more mysterious than any selling soul to Satan fantasy.

" she's a kind hearted woman she studies evil all the time " this is amazing

"After Robert Johnson we are all beggars and thieves"- Robert Plant
