Fair enough, but I’m not sure we all knew they were revamping old blues songs at the time, since it was much later on that I came across such songs by earlier recording artistes. However, if it sent a new generation off in search of earlier blues stuff, then that’s no bad thing. However, I did come across an earnest Eric Clapton inspired player once who refused to believe that some of the songs were taken from Robert Johnson, which was a bit worrying. Hopefully the subsequent release of ‘Mr Johnson and Me’ (whatever it was called) might have convinced him.
