Description

🎸 Robert Johnson – The Mysterious King of the Delta Blues (May 8, 1911 – August 16, 1938 | Died at 27)

Born in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, Robert Leroy Johnson is one of the most legendary and influential figures in American music history. Despite recording only 29 unique songs in his short life, Johnson’s haunting voice, unmatched slide guitar work, and eerie mythos helped shape the foundation of modern blues, rock, and beyond.

Emerging from the Mississippi Delta, Johnson’s style blended raw emotion with fingerpicking finesse and open-tuned slide guitar—techniques that would influence everyone from Muddy Waters and Elmore James to Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Jimmy Page. He is best known for the myth that he sold his soul to the Devil at a crossroads in exchange for his prodigious talent—an origin story that fed into his mysterious aura and the tragic brevity of his life.

Johnson’s only known recording sessions took place in 1936 and 1937—first in San Antonio, Texas, and then in Dallas. They would go on to become the Rosetta Stone of blues music.

He died under mysterious circumstances on August 16, 1938, at just 27 years old, making him one of the earliest and most iconic members of what would later be dubbed the “27 Club.”
