Robert Johnson, Singing the Blues?

Karen DeCoster points to a NYT piece on the Blues which delves into the possibly overblown homage paid to Robert Johnson.  Karen’s post is titled “Revisionism and the Blues."

In regards to Johnson, personally, I think he must’ve made a bad deal with the devil since he was only around a short while.

Update: Accompaniment “Lines End Blues" WJBIII, 1992.
