🎼 Me and The Devil
Since they appeared on Earth, all forms of Music have always been associated with all forms of Evil... mainly with the Devil (an interesting story from past centuries 👉 here).
#DeltaBlues is no exception, in particular in one of its leading artists Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8, 1911 – August 16, 1938), whose life (and death) is surrounded by mistery and legend.
Like many bluesmen of the time, #RobertJohnson was itinerant and played mainly in street corners or small clubs: most of his music has been recorded at low fidelity in improvised studios as 10-inch 78 rpm singles, in 1937–1938, just before his death.
Legend tells he sold his soul to the devil at a local crossroads to achieve musical success: his songs "Crossroads" and "Me and The Devil" seem to refer to that!
He died at 27 (first popular musician to be included in the infamous 27 Club) in unknown circumstances.
#EricClapton (like many others) consider RJ "the most important blues singer that ever lived."
