Hard workin' men don't sell their souls to the devil, but yet the myth continues...

I'm a steady rollin' man, I roll both night and day
I'm a steady rollin' man, hmm, I roll both night and day
But I haven't got no sweet woman, hmm, boys, to be rollin' this-a way
I'm the man that rolls, when icicles hangin' on the tree
I'm the man that rolls, when icicles hangin' on the tree
And now you hear me howlin', baby, hmm, down on my bended knee
I'm a hard-workin' man, have been for many years, I know
I'm a hard-workin' man, have been for many long years, I know
And some cream puff's usin' my money, ooh well, babe, but that'll never be no more
You can't give your sweet woman everything she wants in one time
Ooh, you can't give your sweet woman, everything she wants in one time
Well, boys, she get ramblin' in her brain, hmm, some monkey man on her mind
I'm a steady rollin' man, I roll both night and day
I'm a steady rollin' man and I roll both night and day
Well I don't have no sweet woman, hmm, boys, to be rollin' this-a way

I love this stuff..

Who is this guy.Its impossible to play like this alone.Is it 2 guitarists.

cnniz fakenewz that thumb playing the bass ??

Who’s thumb.you mean on the same guitar?

Got here after hearing Peter Green - we are lucky and privileged to hear the original here
It can’t get any better than this
Real raw blues
Hope America will never forget these men ❤️😘😘

Well but only worried with the signs associated with his photo.

A 20 min live version of Steady Rollin Man from the Dutch rock band Vitesse:

George Thorogood does a cover of this on slide guitar.

The original is not primitive, it's probably the most sophisticated performance there is of this blues song.

Now, this is Robt. Johnson!

I'd pay a stupid amount to hear this man play the gospel blues.

You already have...

I mean in person not through speakers...

The best blues of the hystori is and sr. robert johnson....R.I.P

Paganini was the first

almost but not quite

Nada que ver lo que dicen yankee de mierda Robert era un Super artista que tropezó en una carretera de mistério el fue y sera la Influencia Que lleva El Nombre Del DeltaBlues La música negra aguante Robert Johnson

1:50 just imagine that look he gave that jealous man when he said that

This man was the truth

Has anyone played with the theory that "crossroads" could of been a figure-ation on guitar neck. Meaning ... Two pictures he makes it very noticable of the finger pattern first third finger up down and second finger and pinky is in down and up figure. Hence crossing the pattern. Learning by patterns is how I learned. Mabee this is how he came up with the tasty-est rock-blues ever!Just a thought. If Elvis was "The King" then Robert was god....and they broke the mold.

If there's a prophet for what became rock n roll, Mr. Johnson is it. Truly impressive.

That credit goes to chuck berry

About as heavy as it gets.

ssurfcity this is demonic but dope as fuck

Its amazing how smooth he sounds.

Johny Grasa that's all he knows how to do is be smooth brotha

Truly a bucket list item.!!!!!!

Take a trip down the Mississippi. You get the vi be. Clarksdale Mississippi will truly bring it home.

that was awesome

This is the genesis of rock and roll. Without this stuff there would be no Elvis, and therefore no Beatles.

@Brazilian Atlantis elvis' ripped off rock and roll was straight up blues sung for years, what johnson played was a collection of delta and other styles, inevitably this man affected the people you claim could not have heard him, please think, trying to help you

@Sepulcher "why are people fascinated with Robert Johnson?" Honestly, it's largely because of a Ralph Macchio movie.

@Poowawa TV "nearly all of them heard blues" And nearly all of them didn't hear _his_ blues because he was little-known to anyone until the '60s. That's why the list of '50s rock and rollers who'd even heard of Robert Johnson in the '50s that you're about to make (or Carter is about to make or Michael is about to make) is going to be _very_ short. Go.

elvis got a few of his songs from a guy named Arthur crudup, who was a blues singer from the mississippi delta, and this man was around, playing shows when johnson was alive, and there is some similarity in playing styles between both men. Crudup was playing the blues in the 20s, and 30s and 40s. But, yes, Johnson was more influential in the 60s, not the 50s.

Leadbelly too

There are no more than 3 picture's of the man.....But he was A genius.

There's 0 pictures of a lot of geniuses.

there are only 2 pictures of robert

Fred M I saw only two. where's the third

then whose the fuck are those pics on the slideshow

Yes , Blues music was being funded by various resources at this point. To have one photograph in a common life was an accomplishment and vanity item. A lot of these blues pioneers where also semi affluent I assume.

proper blues

I thoroughly enjoyed him. music man James chuck Hill

I thoroughly enjoyed him. music man James chuck Hill

❤️❤️❤️

Robert Johnson the pacto devil the club 27 year .

trop vieux pour " signer un pacte avec le diable".......mais bon sang....c'est tentant....Un grand monsieur du blues.......

Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison as well

@James Newman Brian jones, al wilson also.

Great song. 

Hoo-hoo roll steady!

Thanks for uploading. Fascinating to learn about music like Robert Johnson's and how it influenced so many like Clapton, etc we take so much for granted today.

Na BRO!_!I-i!_! Mr Robert Johnson is highly appreciated thus having the upmost respect from every HELL Blues Guitarist I know.)' The Man Mr Robert Johnson was not just a innovator of, but an instigator of a lot of what we know as the Blues Today,(''. Check "Keith Richards Blues" another HELL youtube site clarifying hence backing up all I say.
All my best wishes sent your way.\'.
PEACE. LOVE. RESPECT
JOOSHKA

Thanks Tommy. Glad you liked it.

Very creative slide show to go with this wonderful piece of music. I think Mr. Johnson would be proud of your tribute to him!

There are only about 3 photos of him. I used high res versions and cropped and manipulated them to seem like a lot more. However I did use others which looked like him to make the video stretch out, and hopefully make it interesting, not just the usual static photo of him.

The only pictures in this video that I have seen before are the one of him with the suspenders and cigarette and the publicity photo of him. I didn't know there were so many others.

looks like the tune of Stop Breaking Down which is in open A tuning :D

Makes me want play me gibson

As a truck driver I am a steady rollin man!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET SWEET ROBERT...THANX FOR COMIN ALONG IN MY RIDE...LUVS 4 EVER...U AN ME AN THE DEVIL MAKE 3...WITH THE THUNDER AN LIGHTNIN AHEAD AN CORTEZ AT OUR HEELZ...

Great performer, but I dislike how this guy gets so much buzz when no one knows about Blind Willie Johnson, whom I prefer musically.

Once you get an ear for the origional version after hearing it so electrified by other artists you realize how much nicer it is in it's pure form

@wilsonmcphert Cheers for that, almost got me hyped! :P

@MetalAndRockGuru

It's actually a painting heavily cropped from the larger one at 2.13.

1:14 ; Haven't seen that photo of him. Hmm...

Beautiful...

THANK YOU
Very nice quality!!

Love the Blues

It sounds so simple at first listening..but it involves an extraordinary amount of overtones both in the playing and singing.I´m tryn to cover this song now... so help me Rob

You can't give your sweet woman
everything she wants in one time
Well boys, she get ramblin in her brain

tell me robert johson didnt have the spirit of rock in the 30's, what a bro

now you hear me howlin baby hmm hmm hnmm down on my bended knee

Simplesmente maravilhoso...

I wanna be a steady rollin man. I will be a steady rollin man.

This is incredible. You gotta appreciate songs like this, whether you like them or not.
