Recalling how he conceived the concept for Robert Johnson's Tombstone, the band's lead guitarist, producer and primary songwriter Luke Morley explained that it "came about when I was helping Andy Taylor's son ... with some demos and advice, down in Exeter. I was driving home and listening to one of those late-night Radio 2 programmes about the blues. The guy was talking about the blues musician Robert Johnson and the stories of a bottle of poison, a bottle of whisky and a prostitute being involved in his death, and I thought, "This is so rock 'n' roll!" So I got home and started researching Johnson, and it went from there." The album's opening title track features lyrics written in reference to Johnson's mysterious death – Morley recalls that "all the ingredients in his story, true or false, make it a great one to tell and embellish."
