Description

From ‘Crossroads Blues’ to ‘Sweet Home Chicago’, ‘Hellhound on My Trail’ to ‘Come On In My Kitchen’, Robert Johnson wrote one of the most enduring and formative songs of the original blues era, songs that would go on to lend a hand shape the birth of rock ‘n’ roll within the 1960s. Beloved of Clapton, Dylan and the Stones, Robert Johnson remains one of the vital iconic and mythologized figures in popular music (and the first of many to die on the age of 27). Born within the within the South in Mississippi, Johnson made his solution to the urban North as a traveling musician, but it surely used to be only when he returned to the South that he recorded the twenty-nine songs, in two sessions, which might create his legacy.

Exploring the stories and legends that surround his life and death — his childhood, his womanizing, his pact with the devil on the crossroads — Mezzo and DuPont have produced a fittingly creative and beautiful depiction of this most odd life.
