Robert Johnson, HerSmell, Pete Buttigieg and more. Greil Marcus' latest “Real Life Rock Top 10”
Bruce Conforth and Gayle Dean Wardlow,Remastered: Devil at the Crossroads—A Robert Johnson Story. Robert Johnson, 1911-38; as the title of the 1961 album that introduced the 29 songs he recorded in 1936 and 1937 to the world put it, “King of the Delta Blues Singers.” He has travelled down to our time with the legend that he sold his soul to the devil for the right to outplay anyone who was ever born.
It’s an epic labor of devotion to facts large and small—and that, harvested especially from interviews with Johnson’s contemporaries , is where the value of the book lies, to the point that one can imagine the the loudness of the dismissal of the deal-with-the-devil as most of all a commercial hook.
