Robert Johnson's Tombstone is the eighth studio album by English hard rock band Thunder. Recorded at Chapel Studios in South Thoresby, Chez Bez and Tackle Out Studios in London, and the El Relaxo villa in Mijas, Spain, it was produced by the band's lead guitarist Luke Morley. The album was released in the UK by STC Recordings on 30 October 2006, in Europe by Frontiers Records on 10 November, and in Japan by Victor Entertainment on 26 February 2007.
Thunder began working on material for the follow-up to The Magnificent Seventh! in November 2005, during the promotional touring cycle for the album. After the final run of shows on the tour ended in February 2006, the band continued work on the album at a rented villa in Mijas, Málaga using a portable Pro Tools recording station purchased a few years previous. The group's second guitarist and keyboardist Ben Matthews engineered and mixed the entire record.
Robert Johnson's Tombstone debuted at number 56 on the UK Albums Chart and number 6 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart. "The Devil Made Me Do It" was released as the only single from the album on 4 December 2006, reaching number 40 on the UK Singles Chart and number 2 on the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart. The album was promoted on a concert tour between November 2006 and September 2007, featuring shows in the UK, Europe and Japan.
