Me and the Devil Blues

1937

Me and the Devil Blues is a music piece of the American Delta blues musician Robert Johnson, the recorded this at Vocalion Records in 1937.

However, extensive popularity reached the Blue song - how many pieces Johnsons - until 1961, when he appeared on the album King of the Delta Blues Singers.

The song is about domestic violence and possibly also by a pact with the devil, when at the beginning of the piece seem to turn up the devil and the lyric I pointed out to him that it obviously time to go.

The song was covered by a large number of blues musicians, including Eric Clapton, the Cowboy Junkies or The Doors.
