Melodies and hot licks from the 1920s recordings of Scrapper Blackwell, Lonnie Johnson and Blind Blake can also be heard in Robert Johnsons recordings. In this three CD series, Woody Mann traces the development of Robert Johnsons music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: -10px 0px 20px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; opacity: 1; min-width: 0px; max-width: none; min-height: 0px; max-height: none; padding: 0px; background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; box-shadow: none; transform: none; transform-origin: center center; transition: none; color: #333333;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; color: #a01a20; background: none; border: 0px; box-shadow: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: static; z-index: auto; outline: none; opacity: 1; min-width: 0px; max-width: none; min-height: 0px; max-height: none; word-spacing: normal; transform: none; transform-origin: center center; transition: none;\"\u003eLesson One: \u003c\/span\u003eScrapper Blackwell was a popular 1920s blues artist who recorded solo as well as countless sides with the great pianist, Leroy Carr. His unique rhythmic style and use of melodic treble licks can be heard in his Kokomo Blues (key of D) and Blue Day Blues (key of A). Robert Johnson freely adapted Scrappers techniques to his playing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: -10px 0px 20px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; opacity: 1; min-width: 0px; max-width: none; min-height: 0px; max-height: none; padding: 0px; background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; box-shadow: none; transform: none; transform-origin: center center; transition: none; color: #333333;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; color: #a01a20; background: none; border: 0px; box-shadow: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: static; z-index: auto; outline: none; opacity: 1; min-width: 0px; max-width: none; min-height: 0px; max-height: none; word-spacing: normal; transform: none; transform-origin: center center; transition: none;\"\u003eLesson Two: \u003c\/span\u003eJohnson was a teenager when he met and learned from Son House. Sons My Black Mama was copied by Johnson in his Walkin' Blues. Skip Jamess Devil Got My Woman, played in a crossnote tuning, was the basis for Johnson's Hellhound On My Trail. Blind Willie Newberns Roll And Tumble Blues was the foundation for Johnsons Traveling Riverside Blues. Charlie Patton's Screamin' And Hollerin' played in an open G tuning, presents many licks and rhythmic ideas that Johnson used.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: -10px 0px 20px; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; opacity: 1; min-width: 0px; max-width: none; min-height: 0px; max-height: none; padding: 0px; background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; box-shadow: none; transform: none; transform-origin: center center; transition: none; color: #333333;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600; color: #a01a20; background: none; border: 0px; box-shadow: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: static; z-index: auto; outline: none; opacity: 1; min-width: 0px; max-width: none; min-height: 0px; max-height: none; word-spacing: normal; transform: none; transform-origin: center center; transition: none;\"\u003eLesson Three: \u003c\/span\u003eThe recordings of Lonnie Johnson and Blind Blake influenced bluesmen from the East Coast to Texas to the Mississippi Delta.
