Come On In My Kitchen

The story behind

“Come On In My Kitchen” is one of those songs that grabs you from the first chord. Robert Johnson, with his unique ability to convey emotions, creates an almost hypnotic atmosphere that resonates with sadness and longing. This piece, distinguished by its eight-bar blues structure, is held together by a repeated chorus that gives it cohesion and deep emotional weight. Johnson’s performance is so intense that, according to his traveling companion Johnny Shines, it once made the audience cry during one of his performances in St. Louis.
