15: The Devil & Robert Johnson (Part 1)

NOTE: Spotify has removed Part 2 of this series due to a copyright claim by the record company that still owns Robert Johnson's recordings. I have stitched Parts 1 & 2 together into one super-episode which you can listen to for FREE on my Patreon (no signup required) here: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1838953---------The life of bluesman Robert Johnson is a tangle of myth, genius, and tragedy. He was so brilliant that after his murder in 1938, the only sensible explanation was that he sold his soul to the devil. On this two part special, we untangle the lies, and inside of Robert Johnson’s life we discover the obsessive nature of creative genius. But even in that story, the devil still plays a part.After you finish the episode, head over to our subreddit and keep the conversation going!
