Several other recent covers of Robert Johnson songs (comparatively recent,
anyway... after all, he died in 1938):

	"Ramblin' On My Mind" - John Mayall/Eric Clapton (EC's first vocal)
	"Four Until Late" - Cream (lead vocal: EC again)
	"Steady Rollin' Man" - Eric Clapton
	... and need I remind you who sang Cream's "Crossroads"?

	"Stop Breakin' Down" - Rolling Stones

	"Kind Hearted Woman" - George Thorogood
