CROSSROADS: THE LIFE AND AFTERLIFE OF BLUES LEGEND ROBERT JOHNSON by Tom Graves, foreword by Steve LaVere: The result of careful research, this stylish biography reveals the real story behind the legend, said to be the greatest blues musician who ever lived. According to some, he traded his soul to the devil in exchange for his guitar prowess, at a crossroads in rural Mississippi. Superstition has dogged Johnson's memory. When he died at age 27 of a mysterious poisoning, many believed the devil had claimed his due. Most of the myths are debunked here, while the effect Johnson had on modern musicians and fans of the blues is explored. 151 pp.
