Johnson, Robert - Come On In My Kitchen / They're Red Hot (2026 Reissue)

“Come On In My Kitchen” remains one of Johnson’s most covered and celebrated songs. Said to draw inspiration from the Mississippi Sheiks’ hit “Sitting On Top Of The World,” the song’s repeating guitar phrases create an unmistakable sense of melancholy and depth.

“They’re Red Hot,” on the other hand, stands out as one of Johnson’s most unusual recordings, performed in a lively hokum style. Featuring brisk, jive-inflected guitar and Johnson’s rapid-fire vocal delivery, the track has even been described as a possible precursor to early rap music.
