We headed to the Devil’s Crossroads, where Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil for mastery of the guitar in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Aerial got an inside look from notable native Robert Birdsong, tour guide and co-owner of Hopson Commissary, on how migration and the evolution of blues music are the heart of this infamous story.

Robert Johnson and the crossroads - UNAUTHORIZED REVELATIONS
Legend has it that Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads in the Mississippi Delta, most likely just outside Clarksdale. Blues scholar and musician Adam Gussow takes you there, sort of.

The Clarksdale Story
This video was filmed in the spring of 1972 at Anderson Park in Clarksdale Ms.
Mississippi Highways and Crossroads ♪♫
This is a video slideshow tribute to The Mississippi Delta region which is considered to be the birthplace of the Blues.
The most widely known legend surrounding Robert Johnson says that he sold his soul to the Devil at the crossroads of U.S. Highway 61 and U.S. Highway 49 in Clarksdale, Mississippi in exchange for prowess in playing the guitar. Actually, the location Johnson made reference to is a short distance away from that intersection. The legend was told mainly by Son House, but finds no corroboration in any of Johnson's work, despite titles like Me and the Devil Blues and Hellhound on My Trail. With this said, the song Cross Road Blues is both widely and loosely interpreted by many as a descriptive encounter of Johnson selling his soul. The older Tommy Johnson (no relation, although it is speculated that they were cousins) also claimed to have sold his soul to the Devil. The story goes that if one would go to the crossroads a little before midnight and begin to play the guitar, a large black man would come up to the aspiring guitarist, retune his guitar and then hand it back. At this point (so the legend goes) the guitarist had sold his soul to become a virtuoso (A similar legend even surrounded virtuoso violinist Niccolo Paganini a century before.)
Seventy or so years ago, a man who was then known as Robert Johnson passed away. He was poisoned, presumably by a houseman/barkeep whose wife had been flirting with him on an August Evening. Around the same time, a king pin of the then small, homely music industry sent out a middle man to find Johnson, in hopes of striking a record deal. It took until almost a year after Johnson's death for word to get back to the industry that Johnson was, in fact, deceased. This is not a surprise, considering that the spread of news at the time, let alone in poor black Mississippi (or really, where ever he may have taken up residence at the time), was reserved to word of mouth.
Robert Johnson is arguably the most important, influential, and respected blues artist of all time. Back in the days when Johnson was still with us, recording equipment was sparse. Johnson recorded a grand total of forty one cuts, twelve of them alternate takes.
In 1900, Bill and Annie Patton and their 12 children took up residence at Dockery Farms. Their nine-year-old, Charlie, took to following guitarist Henry Sloan to his performances at picnics, fish-fries, and social gatherings at boarding houses where the day laborers lived. By 1910, Patton was
himself a professional musician, playing songs such as his own Pony Blues, often with fellow guitarist Willie Brown. Within the next five years Patton had come to influence Tommy Johnson, considered one of the best ragtime-blues guitarists of the day, who had traveled to Dockery. He had also joined the Chatmon brothers who recorded using the name the Mississippi Sheiks at their musical jobs throughout the area.
Even though there were no juke joints on the farm, Charlie Patton and other bluesmen, drawn to Dockery by its fame, used the plantation as their base. They would travel the network of state roads around Dockery Farms to communities large enough to support audiences that loved the blues. One of these roads, Highway 61, from Memphis to Vicksburg, was immortalized by 1960s folk/rock icon Bob Dylan. This was blues country. The plantation was located between the towns of Cleveland and Ruleville, just south of the state prison at Parchman and north of Indianola, the birthplace of the blues guitar great B.B. King. Shops in the area sold race records. These were typically blues sung by women like Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith and produced presumably for African-American buyers. In 1929 Charlie Patton recorded 14 songs for Paramount Records, featuring his gruff voice and rhythmic, percussive plucking. They immediately became top sellers, and resulted eventually in his second recording sessions, producing 26 titles, for the ARC company in New York in 1934.
But it was Patton's live performances that inspired and influenced fans such as Robert Johnson, Bukka White, Ed 'Son' House, Chester Burnett (also known as Howlin' Wolf), and Roebuck 'Pop' Staples. These important artists in blues history either lived at or passed through Dockery Farms. Bluesmen Sonnyboy Williamson and Leadbelly were among 'guests of the state' at nearby Parchman Prison during the same era.
Besides his blues guitar playing and singing, Patton was well known for his stage moves. He danced while playing and swinging his guitar around, often playing it behind his back. These crowd-pleasing antics imitated by rock stars including Jimi Hendrix have survived today in the acts of bluesmen such as Buddy Guy.
Enjoy :-)

Mississippi Delta: Blues Trail road trip
Louisiana may be the birthplace of Jazz, but Mississippi Delta, is where the Blues were born! Music, comfort food and southern hospitality run deep in the Delta. My journey followed Highway 61, which is also known as the “Blues Trail.” One could argue that Highway 61 rivals Route 66, certainly for its musical significance.
I found the Mississippi Delta to exude charm and hospitality, while its music permeated my soul and found a place in my heart.

Where to Sell Your Soul for the Delta Blues
Where Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil and where the first juke joints started playing a new kind of American music, Clarksdale is the birthplace of Delta Blues.

With the Juke Joint Festival, a Mississippi city aims to lose its economic blues
In Mississippi’s Clarksdale, the heart of the rural Delta, a celebration of the blues has been drawing thousands of fans to the area for the past 16 years. The Juke Joint Festival, named for bars and informal music venues scattered throughout the African American South in part as a response to whites-only clubs, has helped revitalize a city whose economy was struggling. Jeffrey Brown reports.

The Crossroads
Dr. Clark Deaconbluz White and artist Rhonda Richmond with Sylvester Hoover give us a different perspective of the infamous Robert Johnson crossroads theory. This video is part of a documentary called Blues and Abstract Truths by photographer, filmmaker Ed Silvera for The Delta Media Project in association with Mississippi Valley State University, Delta Research and Cultural Institute. deltamediaproject.com
Mississippi Blues Hwy 61 N - Vicksburg to Memphis Timelapse
The full, uncut but time lapsed video of the infamous Hwy 61 N from Vicksburg, Mississippi to Memphis Tennessee.. Join me as I drive through the delta and go through the following towns:
Valley Park, Onward, Carey, Rolling Fork, Nitta Yuma, Hollandale, Arcola, Leland, Shaw, Cleveland, Merigold, Shelby, Duncan, Bobo, Clarksdale, Coahoma, Lula, Dundee, Tunica, Walls & more.
US 61 is divided from the Tennessee state line to US 82 in Leland. The highway south of Vicksburg to Natchez is mostly divided and four-lane; only short sections through Port Gibson need to be upgraded.
From Natchez to the Louisiana state line, US 61 is now divided and four lanes. The Mississippi Department of Transportation is now upgrading the highway between Vicksburg and Leland to four lanes, beginning with replacement of the Yazoo River bridge at Redwood in Warren County.
The road is also known as the Blues Highway because it runs through the Mississippi Delta country, which was an important source of blues music. Highway 61 has been referenced in music by various artists with roots in the region.
The junction of US 61 and US 49 in Clarksdale is designated as the famous crossroads where, according to legend, Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for mastery of the blues. It was on this stretch of highway that blues singer Bessie Smith died as a result of a car accident on September 26, 1937.
Mississippi Road Trip Vlog - The Blues & Civil Rights inc. Money & Dockery Plantation. Day 6 Pt.2
Mississippi Road Trip Vlog - The Blues & Civil Rights inc. Money & Dockery Plantation. Sept 16 - Day 6 Part 2. We arrived in Indianola and after visiting a couple of BB King sites we visited the museum dedicated to him. From there we drove towards Greenwood, Mississippi and then headed north to the small churchyard where the King of the Delta Blues, Robert Johnson, is buried.
A little further up the road is the small town of Money, where the killing of Emmett Till took place in September 1955 and was perhaps the event that brought the Civil Rights Movement in the US to the attention of the world.
On a lighter note, just around the corner is the Tallahatchie Bridge where Billie Joe McAllister jumped from in the Bobbie Gentry song 'Ode To Billie Joe'.
The last stop on this leg was the site of the Dockery Plantation where the burgeoning Delta Blues music was heard from the likes of Charley Patton, Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson and many others.
From here we headed to Clarksdale and on to Memphis which is in the next vlog
Riding The Delta Blues - Part Two - Natchez north to Clarksdale, Ms
Photographs taken on an 11 Day, 3000 Mile, 10 State Motorcycle Tour of the Delta Blues Trail and Mississippi River from Natchez to Cairo, Il. at the confluence of the Miss. and Ohio rivers. The trip started and end just south of Washington DC and included parts of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains. This part is from Natchez north along the river and into Clarksdale Ms. which I discovered after finding it that it is known as the Crossroads of the Delta Blues and birth place of such greats as Ike Turner and where Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil to play the Blues.
