Robert Johnson

[Smy Guiley]

When he originally began TRYING to perform, apparently it was bad. He was not ranked at the best of the performers when he disappeared for a while. Ultimately he returned and he played awesomely, making guitar music that the likes of which had never been heard. He would play with his back to the audience so nobody would see how he played his guitar. Because of this (disappearing with bad performance skills, returning with great performance skills which he never let anybody see) the rumors began that he had sold his soul to the devil..

You can't get a better legacy than that! It's still creepy to this day, even after people have researched it!

Ya gotta love it.

Whether or not he sold his soul to Satan, he still was great!

Yes he was.

Right after the Robert Johnson Columbia collection was released, another company tried to do the same with Charlie Patton's work, and they failed. You can barely make out some of the songs because they didn't use original tracks and it sounds like a scratchy record.
