The life of blues legend Robert
Johnson becomes the centerpiece for this innovative look at what many
consider to be America's deepest and most influential music genre.
Pivotal are the questions surrounding why Johnson was ignored by the
core black audience of his time yet now celebrated as the greatest
figure in blues history.
Trying to separate myth from reality,
biographer Elijah Wald studies the blues from the inside -- not only
examining recordings but also the recollections of the musicians
themselves, the African-American press, as well as examining original
research. What emerges is a new appreciation for the blues and the
movement of its artists from the shadows of the 1930s Mississippi Delta
to the mainstream venues frequented by today's loyal blues fans.
