Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1961, Blues, Delta Blues Compilation, Mississippi Delta, Mississippi
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
Media Narrative: A 1961 compilation that helped launch the blues revival; many white rock musicians first encountered Johnson through this LP, not the original 78s.
Notable Myths: The “deal with the devil at the crossroads” story became the dominant legend—repeated endlessly, often drowning out the real history.
Personal Struggle: Johnson lived as an itinerant performer under Jim Crow, moving town to town for work and safety; he died at 27 under murky, disputed circumstances.
