Song Request - E02S03 - Crossroads - Robert Johnson

Hello fellow music fanatics!

Welcome to the episode 2 of Song request season 3!

Today's song was requested by @rubido, it's the classic delta blues song by Robert Johnson - "Crossroads" or Cross Road Blues

What a monument of a song, I was at first really scared for two reasons. First, I am a superstitious man, and there is so much supernatural myth around this song, around Robert Johnson and his deal that he made with the devil to learn how to play the guitar, at a crossroad.

Extra link Youtube:

Yes, you've heard right, that's how the story goes, and who am I for not believing the lore? There's also another story that hasn't been told about Robert Johnson, a tragic life that ended up with a sudden death, and songs that will continue to live on.

The second reason why I was scared of playing this song, it's because if I change it and it sucks, I will always be remembered as the "dude that tried to play Crossroad but failed" in the history books, next to Eric Clapton and John Mayer that succeeded in making their own version.

This is my interpretation of crossroad, made throughout the last few weeks, rather obsessively, there will of course be a vlog available to watch next week, but as for now, here is Crossroad, ladies and gents...

Congratulation to @rubido, you've earned 10 HIVE!!

If you have a song you dare me to play and transform, write it in the comments ^^

I will tell more about the writing process of the song in the vlog video, so I am gonna keep it short, it's been pleasure working on this piece, tell me what you think!

Much Love
