Robert Johnson's 'Crossroads' Slowed Down to Original Speed

Some think that Robert Johnson's recordings were sped up a bit. Different theories abound as to why, but regardless of whether or not it's true, this song still sounds amazing slowed down a bit. Give it a listen. Is this the "true" voice of Robert Johnson? Personally, I think it is, but it's also present on many other tracks. I think only some of his recordings were sped up, with Crossroads being one of them.

Here's Elijah Wald's take on it: http://www.elijahwald.com/johnsonspeed.html
