Description: In the 1930s, a Mississippi bluesman named Robert Johnson changed American music forever—and left behind one of its darkest legends. According to folklore, Johnson met the Devil at a crossroads and traded his soul for unmatched musical talent. His songs spoke of hellhounds and restless spirits, and his life ended mysteriously at just 27. In this special episode, recorded with guest Norman Woolworth, we explore the real man behind the myth, the eerie coincidences in his story, and how one haunting deal shaped the soul of the blues.
