Season 2 "Robert Johnson"

Robert Johnson, an American blues composer, guitarist, and singer whose eerie falsetto singing voice and masterful rhythmic slide guitar influenced both his contemporaries and many later blues,rock, and metal musicians.

Robert Johnson’s 1938 song “Me and the Devil Blues” tells the story of the Devil coming to collect the narrator’s soul.

Much speculation surrounds the meaning of this song, and most of it comes from the legend that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil for the ability to play blues guitar.
