I've been obsessed with music since 1960. With me it's been an obsession. There's nothing I won't listen to that includes disc techno and yes rap. The Robert Johnso story bothered me for years and one day I quit being lazy and started doing my own research on it. It's a fascinating story, but this story has more outright fantasy to it than anyone I've ever studied. He's from Mississippi and as a child all he wanted to do was sing and play the blues. For whatever reason no one would help him. He forged ahead and tried being self taught. He just didn't seem to have any aptitude for music. As a young adult he would tell bar owners I'll play for free but he was so bad bar owners stopped letting him play for free cuz we can't sell drinks to people who aren't here. Blues legend Son House remembers Robert. Son House said when the pub owners no longer let him play for free he was going to move away. No body cared. Sure enough he disappeared for several months, however he came back, and this is when all the nonsense about RJ began. I'll be brief. When he left town the letter grade for his talent was clearly an F. When he returned it was no better than a C minus. True to form he never gave up. During his lifetime no one thought he was a rising star.When he took the stage when the band was on break at least people didn't walk out. He was never a star performer ever. He recorded 11 songs over a 4 year period. Not exactly a bluesman in demand. He had a bad habit of messing with married women. So his death is shrouded in mystery. Many claim a jealous husband poisoned him, it was never proven because frankly no one cared. He was the first member of the 27 club if that means anything. Fast forward to 1961. An engineer at Columbia records saw an ad in a trade publication. Those little fly by nite recording studios had decided to cell off the catalogs of their deceased artists. And they were going cheap. So this engineer got Columbia to buy a bunch of them. After all no residuals to the artists they're dead. Johnson's 11 songs were among the ones released. One snag though, Columbia wanted to put Johnson's picture on the cover. No one in Mississippi rembered who he was and they couldn't drum up so much as a snap shot of him so they had an artist draw a bluesman with his head down. Now the miracle of Robert Johnson begins. What makes this fascinating, is in the history of music there has never been such an obscure unknown unheralded bluesman who became a super star 30 years after he was dead. Mind you his songs that Columbia released did not sell all that well. Pick it up in 1965 and rock n roll was here to stay. All the young performers who would go on to be mega stars were just getting going. Clapton Beck, Hendrix Trower even Kieth Richard's Pete Townsend Mick Ralph's Bob Dylan George Harrison. American kids were buying up fan magazines like they were free. When all the those young up coming mega stars where asked who are some of your influences every one of them mentioned Robert Johnson. So the American rock media asked who the hell is Robert Johnson? That is how he become famous. Maybe he did sell his soul to the devil. The devil just forgot to tell him you won't be a mega star til you've been dead 30 years. Don't be playin' poker with the devil.

What I witnessed as a teen was fucking traumatic. I can say he probably didn’t sell his soul… but evil exists and it comes in many forms. Not to mention I’m a family cult survivor of 12 only one escaped. Evil exists mine happened to be my family & more. Paranormal/voodoo shit went on the horror I experienced I don’t know how I’m standing. Probably got hit in the head many times idk that I just became ditzy. No clue. Stay safe out here people.

My Theory... Because he had no formal training, he was doing things on the guitar that people did not understand. Fiddling with the guitar in an "unorthodox" way. After obsessive practice, things started to click and eventually became technique. Once he had technique, he could use it in any manner he wanted. Unusual techniques to the people witnessing this would seem incredibly advanced once the playing was attuned to melodies they could understand.

Johnson was 'gone' for two years. You can progress a lot on an instrument in two years, especially if you set your mind to it. He also had opportunity to observe some of the blues guys like Son House and take all that in. I think the crossroads legend takes away from Johnson's ability to learn and improve. Some people become prodigies. It happens. And it also takes a lot of work.

He tried to change his lifestyle after that incident but struggled. He died about a year later. Half the band members in his group died young. The last died a few months ago before posting a drawing on her Instagram page depicting a woman having sex with a demon. The group was called Three 6 Mafia (as in 666).

Let me know what you guys think of the first episode of the new web series! I'm hoping to have a new episode out in the next month or so, these are time consuming to make so I can't be as consistent as I'd like to be but I really enjoyed making this so hopefully I'll have a full season (5 episodes) done as soon as possible!

Fun fact There is a Japanese manga about Robert Johnson and how he sold his soul to the devil to become a legendary musician which is titled the same as his song "Me and The Devil Blues" The manga has 5 volumes and it was written and illustrated by Akira Hiramoto, the same guy who created Prison School

Theory: he didn't sell his soul. But all the devil talk in his songs in particular is a metaphor about drugs. Maybe he smoked a bunch of pot (bad in that day) and practiced over that 2 year period and got that good. And his songs are just about how drugs took over his life or some shit.

I believe that Robert Johnson is the singular biggest reason why music is the way it is today, he influenced the musicians of the 50s/60s which influenced the artists of the 70s/80s which evolved to what we have today. It all comes back to roots of rock and roll

You can't really say one person is the biggest reason. Elvis was huge in bringing music like this to the forefront of western society. You could also say that WW2 was a huge game changer. It was the boomers (as in the original ones born in the mid- to late-40s) who pushed this music forward too. It was having a sudden huge population of young people that really made rock and other forms of music grow exponentially.

Old Robert, I’ve heard his story a thousand times yet every retelling feels all the new. It never grows old, much like his music, for it lives on in the music of today; serving as a foundation for many genres, seems to me the devil kept his word and then some.

I still will never understand why someone would want to sell their soul to only live until 27, even thought that isn’t told to you. Nowadays it’s pretty known and no fame or money or talent is worth living such a short life and an eternity in hell.

Clapton has said that when he heard Robert Johnson for the first time, it sounded as though Johnson were singing to him directly, to an audience of Eric Clapton and only Eric Clapton. It pierced his innermost being. I know what Clapton meant by that. Only a very select few musicians have effected that same feeling within me. Robert Johnson is not one of them, but I still greatly enjoy listening his music. Keith Richards has said that, as a young man, when he would listen to Robert Johnson, he couldn't believe what he was listening to -- he didn't believe it was humanly possible to create a sound *that* distinctive with just a single guitar and two hands. Imagine the brilliance had Robert Johnson lived longer and found a proper band to back him...

I disagree about the band. He was entirely his own person with his own unique sound, and he did it his way. Just a man and his guitar. I think a band might have ruined his style.
