Uncovering the Originals - Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones

Original air date August 3, 2019 | Time 59:00

   

Sometimes a song is better known for a cover version instead of the original composer. We listen to the Rolling Stones covers of the American blues musician Robert Johnson (May 8, 1991 - August 16, 1938 at 27 yrs old). Eric Clapton also plays the entire catalog of Robert Johnson's music. These two strong influences in rock have bought the blues into the foundation of rock and roll.
