À propos de cet audio
In the 1930s Mississippi Delta, a young blues musician vanished and returned transformed.
This episode of Dead Notes explores the life and legend of Robert Johnson, a man with just twenty-nine recordings, no confirmed grave, and a story that refuses to settle. From the crossroads myth to the eerie lyrics that followed him, Johnson's music feels less like ambition and more like a warning.
Did he sell his soul or did the legend come later because there was no other way to explain what people heard?
