"Discovering Robert Johnson" is yet another look at bluesman legend Robert Johnson. It can be speculated if there is any missing link that can musically contribute something new to his work, his figure and the transcendence of his legacy. So the answer must obviously be negative. Just revisionism. But any blues music lover knows well that "Crossroads Blues", "Ramblin 'On My Mind", "Love In Vain" or "Sweet Home Chicago" are reborn in every performance, they come to life every time a blues musician slides devilishly the bottleneck between the guitar strings, they show the state of mind and nakedly transmit the soul in each one of his playing. From Catalunya (Spain) "The Rusties Blues Band" can exemplify what has been said, four devotees of blues music and eternal debtors to the king of the delta, pay tribute to his music and to his eternity. Eleven versions played with the respect and devotion of which they are capable, but in any case they are eleven songs full of gratitude and soul, which is what can be expected when you desecrate the crossroads.
