Product Description

''A beautiful retelling ... which captures the great man''s spirit.'' UNCUT

From ''Crossroads Blues'' to ''Sweet Home Chicago'', ''Hellhound on My Trail'' to ''Come On In My Kitchen'', Robert Johnson wrote some of the most enduring and formative songs of the original blues era, songs that would go on to help shape the birth of rock''n''roll in the 1960s. Beloved of Clapton, Dylan and the Stones, Robert Johnson remains one of the most iconic and mythologised figures in popular music (and the first of many to die at the age of 27).

Exploring the stories and legends that surround his life and death - his childhood, his womanising, his pact with the devil at the crossroads - Mezzo and DuPont have produced a fittingly creative and beautiful depiction of this most extraordinary life.
