Robert Johnson "Hell Hound On My Trail / From Four Until Late" 10inch

★Limited first edition

"Hell Hound On My Trail" is a song often cited as Robert Johnson's masterpiece. The lyrics, which express a sense of urgency with "hell hounds on my trail," are masterfully conveyed through his sorrowful singing and guitar playing. It seems to reflect Robert's state of mind, as if he was constantly driven by the blues. "From Four Until Late" is a song with an East Coast-style melody and chords. It is said to be based on "Four O'Clock Blues," recorded in 1922 by Johnny Dunn's Original Jazz Hounds, and also expresses a rather empty state of mind with lyrics like, "A man is like a prisoner, never satisfied."
