Johnny Shines
Selected Discography
I interviewed Johnny Shines a year or so before he died. I asked if he thought Robert Johnson thought that he'd sold his soul. Shines looked at me like I was dumb and said, "You don't own your soul. How you gonna sell what you don't own?"

Johnny Shines and Robert Johnson were friends. They traveled the roads together making what we now call "Delta Blues". Johnny ended up settling in Chicago. There we got alot of his works recorded. What a blessing....
