Thunder robert johnson s tombstone full album


Robert Johnson's Tombstone is British hard rock band Thunder's eighth studio album. The title comes from the song "Robert Johnson's Tombstone" which is track 1 on the album. It was written by Luke Morley about the mystery surrounding where Robert Johnson was buried and the legend that he sold his soul to the Devil as payment for his extraordinary guitar-playing abilities. The album cover art features the band's drummer Harry James (in red make-up and tuxedo) as the Devil sat next to a replica of Johnson's tombstone.

Contents

The album did reasonably well considering it was released on an independent label. It reached #56 in the UK album charts and the single The Devil Made Me Do It reached number 40 in the UK top 40 charts. There was also a video made for The Devil Made Me Do It, an animated feature, which received some airplay late at night on the UK music channel Scuzz.
