The
Legend of Highway 61
Some say that during the Great Depression a slight young man stood at a lonely crossroads on Highway 61 to make a deal with the devil. No one knows if the legend is true, but we do know that Robert Johnson amazed his fellow blues musicians with his virtuosity. If you listen to his music, you can hear how he has influenced musicians as diverse as Johnny Cash and Jimi Hendrix. The ghost of Robert Johnson haunts American music. The great depression era blues musicians closely guarded their guitar secrets, Gigs were competetive. Money was scarce. Times were hard. It's little wonder that people thought Robert Johnson made a diabolical deal to gain an edge. Things are a little easier for guitarists now... Stefan Grossman's in town. |
