The life of Robert Johnson, a pivotal yet enigmatic figure in blues music, is explored through his profound influence on artists like Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones. His tragic death at twenty-seven, allegedly from poisoning, and the legend of his pact with the devil contribute to his mystique. Peter Guralnick's extended essay delves into Johnson's life, the cultural context of his era, and the complexities surrounding his legacy, shedding light on both the man and the myth without losing the allure of his story.
