31. Robert Johnson: The King of the Delta Blues and His Crossroads Story

Robert Johnson: a name synonymous with the blues, shrouded in myth and mystery. In this episode, we look beyond the legend and examine the real man.

From his upbringing in rural Mississippi with his mother, Julia Dodds, to the questions surrounding his paternity and early life, we explore the formative influences that shaped his music. We delve into the speculation surrounding his sudden illness and untimely death at the age of 27, examining the various theories and the lasting impact of his passing.

Crucially, we explore his musical education and the pivotal role played by Ike Zimmerman, the older, more experienced musician who mentored Johnson and significantly influenced his iconic guitar skills and playing style. Join us as we unpack the facts, separating them from the tall tales, and try to understand the man who became a blues icon, leaving behind a legacy that continues to resonate today.
