Robert Johnson's Deal With the Devil

In 1931, Robert Johnson walked into a juke joint in Banks, Mississippi with a guitar strapped to his back. Only a little less than a year before he mysteriously disappeared from the Delta after being teased for his lack of musicianship. But now Robert Johnson was back and he was ready to take the stage and show everyone in that juke what he could do, displaying a musical mastery that left everyone shocked. From that day on, the legend of Robert Johnson has become one of the most notorious pieces of lore in American music-- a myth that claims Robert Johnson went down to the crossroads at midnight and sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for an otherworldy ability to play the blues.
