The release includes five songs not found on the original studio album: "Sweet Home Chicago," "Terraplane Blues," "Ramblin' on My Mind," "Stones in My Passway," and "From Four Until Late".
Recorded at Hook End Manor during tour rehearsals with a full electric band. Includes high-energy takes of "Kind Hearted Woman Blues" and "They're Red Hot".
The project is structured into four distinct segments, moving from electric ensemble performances to stripped-back solo versions that emulate Johnson's original 1930s style.
A raw solo acoustic session at the Hotel Casa del Mar, featuring Clapton alone with his guitar and a framed photograph of Johnson. Key Features & Content
While Me and Mr. Johnson was a polished studio effort, Sessions for Robert J is praised for its "white-knuckle" energy and more "earthy" feel.
Filmed at the Studios at Las Colinas. Highlights include "If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day" and "Stop Breakin' Down Blues".
