I read the following on Amazon, anyone know more about the circumstances?? I cannot imagine this guy playing lead for the 70's Stones
Having auditioned for the slot made vacant by Mick Taylor, ROBERT JOHNSON at the age of 23 was in his opinion too young and too American to join The Rolling Stones. In 1974 he secured the lead guitar slot in the Who bass players JOHN ENTWISTLE'S OX where he stayed for the next three years. In 1978 the world was finally exposed to ROBERT JOHNSON solo artist whose two albums were released in UK on the Ensign Label (bonus album ""The Memphis Dmos"" was released in 1980).He toured in support of ""Close Personal Friend"" opening for amongst others The POLICE and The KNACK but ""bad vibes and bad management"" doomed his band and albums to a premature fate. Crank up loud and enjoy.

I remember him -- came out at the height of the "New Wave". Kinda doing the early Joe Jackson/Elvis Costello skinny tie thing to the best of my recollection.

that's the interesting thing to me - the boys found new wave but not until 1978; Black and Blue could have easily been a lot less lazy sounding
