"I got to keep movin',
I got to keep movin',
blues fallin' down like hail,
blues fallin' down like hai,

Mmmmm-mm-mm-mm,
blues fallin' down like hail,
blues fallin' down like hail,

And the day keeps on worryin' me,
there's a hellhound on my trail,
hellhound on my trail,
hellhound on my trail."


SO SANG THE 26 YEAR-OLD Robert Johnson on June 20, 1937, when, in Dallas, Texas, he cut the immortal Hellhound On My I rail. The track itself helped cement the reputation of the blues as being the devil's own music, as did the lyrical in that punctuated Johnson's Cross Road Blues and Me And The Devil. Indeed, the fact that Johnson died within a year of that final Texan session for RCA has helped propagate the Faustian myth that has subsequently engulfed him in the absence of genuine biographical detail.
Johnson was not the first musician to be associated with the devil, hut he was a cornerstone in a tradition that continues to fascinate to this day. MOJO's Highway to Hell gathers together a selection of tunes by artists whose music touches on the purgatorial, either in terms of the reality of their surroundings or as an extension of Johnson's lyrical tradition. In truth, while this bespoke collection does contain a central theme, it is also designed for maximum musical impact. So does the devil possess all the best tunes? Possibly not, hut here are 15 that are pretty fine…
