Review

An anthology celebrating the music of Robert Johnson, Hellhound on My Trail collects versions of the master's songs by such latter-day luminaries as Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Robert Lockwood Jr., and Joe Louis Walker, along with such relative newcomers as Alvin "Youngblood" Hart and Susan Tedeschi. While few would argue that any of these are definitive versions, there are some nice additions to the Johnson cover canon.

David "Honeyboy" Edwards's slower, less maniacal take on "Traveling Riverside Blues" proves a nice change of pace, though one would be better off digging up their old copies of Exile on Main Street for a more interesting interpretation of "Stop Breaking Down" than the one here by Carl Weathersby. All in all, a pleasant diversion, but one must add that Johnson's legacy seems better carried on by the likes of the White Stripes and Will Oldham than some of the more "traditional" acts on this compilation. --Mike Johnson
