I went to the crossroads

Robert Johnson met the Devil at the crossroads on one cold night, back when if a black man ventured out at night he didn't know if a lynching was in store for him (not so long ago, we forget) and he shook his hand, and in return he got a guitar and that guitar was forever tied to his soul. Well, Mr. Johnson not only played that guitar, but his soul rang out each time he picked it up-and he was able to transform pain into music. The blues of the delta, the most haunting, passionate of genres. His fellow pioneers, like Skip James, Bukka White, Fred McDowell, and the other brothers of this blues-true drifters of the best of the classic bohemian definitions-created something that penetrates deep into the soul, and all this took was a man, his guitar and the deep pain that comes from real raw human suffering. Johnson met a tragic end, poisoned by one of his many jealous lovers (he did have womens in Vicksburg straight on into Tennessee) but the man, the legend and the music are immortal.
