"Hellhound on My Trail" (originally "Hell Hound on My Trail") is a blues song recorded by Mississippi Delta bluesman Robert Johnson in 1937. It was the first song recorded during Johnson's last recording session in Dallas, Texas on Sunday, June 20, 1937 and the first single released from that session. Inspired by earlier blues songs, it is considered one of Johnson's "best known and most admired performances—many would say it is his greatest".
Background
According to legend, Johnson sold his soul to the devil in a Faustian deal at the crossroads in return for his musical talent. This song fuels the mystery and lore surrounding him as it suggests a man in the grip of evil, and his deal with the devil has become part of popular culture.
Prior to Johnson's song, the phrase "hellhound on my trail" had been used in blues songs.Sylvester Weaver's "Devil Blues", recorded in 1927 contains: "Hellhounds start to chase me man, I was a running fool, My ankles caught on fire, couldn't keep my puppies cool" and "Funny Paper" Smith in his 1931 "Howling Wolf Blues No. 3" sang: "I take time when I'm prowlin', an' wipe my tracks out with my tail ... Get home and get blue an' start howlin', an' the hellhound on my trail". The Biddleville Quintette's 1926 religious recording "Show Pity Lord" opens with a religious testimony declaring that "The hell hound has turned back off my trail".

Hellhound On My Trail by Robert Johnson with Lyrics
Robert Johnson, King of the Delta Blues, is considered one of the delta blues greats.
Delta blues is one of the earliest-known styles of blues. It originated in the Mississippi Delta, a region of the U.S. stretching from the upper northwest corner of Mississippi to Vicksburg, Mississippi, in the south and from the Mississippi River in the west to the Yazoo River in the east. Robert Johnson's slide guitar skill was considered unnatural and was said to have
sold his soul to the devil. Robert Johnson was killed by poison at the age of 27 and
is considered to be one of the greatest blues performers of all time. Hellhound on My Trail is a favorite of Robert Johnson fans.
