Robert Johnson - Me And The Devil Blues

One my all time favorite early 20th century artists is Robert Johnson. One of my favorite late 20th century artists is Gil-Scott Heron. I was delighted to hear that Gil-Scott Heron released a new album in early 2010, after a long hiatus, and even more delighted to hear one of the tracks was called "Me And The Devil". It's not a direct cover but was inspired by Robert Johnson's original "Me And The Devil" which was recorded almost 75 years earlier. Both are amazing poets and musicians who are not well known today but both have contributed some absolutely stunning recordings to the history of music. We are lucky to have Gil-Scott Heron back churning out quality recordings at 61 years of age. Buy or preview his album "I'm New Here" @ http://gilscottheron.net/
