From 'Crossroads Blues' to 'Sweet Home Chicago', 'Hellhound on My Trail' to 'Com
e On In My Kitchen', Robert Johnson wrote some of the most enduring and formativ
e songs of the original blues era, songs that would go on to help shape the birt
h of rock 'n' roll in the 1960s. Beloved of Clapton, Dylan and the Stones, Rober
t Johnson remains one of the most iconic and mythologized figures in popular mus
ic (and the first of many to die at the age of 27).
