Steve Earle's Latest Album Inspired By Blues Legend Robert Johnson
. Earle - who's better known for his country rock output - tells WBUR: "I always approach it from the songwriting standpoint. He was Robert Johnson because of the songs. "He wrote every song that's a big deal. Every form of the post-war alleged blues is based on one Robert Johnson song or another. And it's absolutely the truth. He's every bit the father of the modern genre." He continues: "Johnson, as a songwriter, is pretty fascinating - there are no earlier versions of these songs that anybody's been able to find. They all begin with him, which I think's fascinating." Read more here. The Blues Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
