Blues credibility doesn’t get any deeper or more real than Robert Lockwood Jr. On Delta Crossroads, the 85-year-old Delta bluesman lays out a heartfelt homage to the immortal Robert Johnson, his guitar teacher, close friend, role model and possibly step-father. Playing the acoustic 12-string guitar and singing with uncommon authority, Lockwood delivers unaccompanied, bone-chilling renditions of Johnson classics like “32-20 Blues”, “Stop Breakin’ Down Blues” “Mr. Downchild”, “Love In Vain Blues” and “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom”, along with authentically earthy readings of Leroy Carr’s “Mean Mistreater Mama” and “In the Evening”, Lightnin’ Hopkins’ “C.C. Rider” and “Key to the Highway”, which Lockwood says was written by Jazz Gillum and not Big Bill Broonzy, who usually gets credit. This purely acoustic offering is a rich tribute and a must for Delta fanatics.
For Delta Crossroads, Robert Lockwood Jr., a former student of Robert Johnson, returns to his Delta blues roots. This 16-track album features Lockwood with only his 12-string acoustic guitar. It is rather strange hearing old Delta blues sung by one of its originals on a modern recording. All of the notes from the guitar are clear. Plus, his voice isn't scuffed up by the scratches and pop of the vinyl recording. Lockwood plays a mix of Robert Johnson tunes, a few of his own, and some blues standards including "C.C. Rider." With its high production quality and Lockwood's unique and possibly near-extinct style of singing, Delta Crossroads is a strong testament to the endurance of a Delta blues original.
