Sometimes it can be hard to completely understand any certain artist or band for that matter, if you don't transcend your train of thought to the particular era in question.
For example if your talking about Robert Johnson, you have to realize we are talking about prior to 1938 (the year of his death). And the same is to be said for any artist/band in order to grasp a complete and more coherent analysis.
Whether it is a band from the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s for example. We have to remember to not always think within the modern era of today's music.

That's very true. I'm always preaching the same message. For example, a lot of people I know say that Hendrix couldn't play very fast. Well of course he doesn't seem fast when you compare him to modern guitarists, but back then he was pretty fast. You can't just discredit what someone did because it was in the past. No one is always going to be able to keep up with the times. You can't say Robert Johnson sucked because he can't shred like Malmsteen or Vai. He came from a different time period, and he was damn good in his own respected time.
