Editorial Reviews
This is the kind of record that Todd Park Mohr and his band Big Head Todd and the Monsters have always wanted to make. Five days recording in Memphis at the famous Ardent Studios with some of the bands biggest musical heroes playing some of Todd's favorite material.This record is a tribute to the late Robert Johnson to celebrate his centennial and is produced by Grammy winning producer Chris Goldsmith. The guest musicians include such great guest musicians as BB King, Hubert Sumlin, David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Charlie Musselwhite, Ruthie Foster, Cedric Burnside and Lightnin' Malcolm.

I got an early release of this cd and have listened to it non-stop. It sounds fantastic on a proper sound system! This tribute to Robert Johnson by Big Head Todd and the Monsters along with Hubert Sumlin, BB King, Charlie Musslewhite, Cedric Burnside, Lightin Malcom, Ruthie Foster and Honeyboy Edwards is so very well done and captures the spirit and sound of Robert Johnson. All Robert Johnson songs on the cd - some acustic and just like the original version, and others electric and fantastic renditions. All toe tapping blues for sure. An excellent recording. All the musicians sound so good on this cd. Big Head Todd and the Monsters always make tight, high quality music, but I must say that this blues cd with Big Head Blues Club is exceptional. Love it!

A little background: Robert Johnson was the muscian who is said to have "sold his soul" at the Crossroads, then died a dramatic death at the age of 27. BB covers that song on this recording. "Honeyboy" Edwards was a friend of Johnson's, and in interviews, talks of life and Delta Blues in the 30s.
This recording is essential for knowledgeable blues pros down to basic blues beginners. The mix of several blues guitar styles (including Howlin' Wolf's Huber Sumlin) keeps the entire album interesting and makes each song new. When you listen, you can feel the heart and soul poured into this labor of love. This is much more than a tribute disc, its a basic element to your collection. Enjoy!

This is truly a wonderful tribute to the Robert Johnson tunes. I am playing this over and over.
It has feeling, it has soul. Inclusion of Honeyboy Edwards, Sumlin, and BB King,., way cool.
