29 of 1001 Songs: Robert Johnson's Hellhound on my Trail

So I used this single cover of Cross Road Blues because finding a cover to use for Hell Hound on My Trail was even more complicated. It seems the song has inspired many art prints and artistic endeavors of those who enjoy the tune. Johnson is a very bluesy artist, and while I'm sure plenty of women enjoy his music there is a masculine tone that is present in most songs that show cases the appeal.

History: This song further puts into the tale that Johnson sold his soul to the devil to achieve his musical talents. People continued to let this song fuel the tale even though plenty of artist before Johnson had discussed the topic of hellhounds. The song though has achieved a legacy as well. It's been inducted in blues' hall of fame, and has been credited as one of the most influential blues song there is. It's still one of Johnson's most popular singles to date.
