And yet Robert Johnson remained virtually unknown to a wider audience until the release of his complete recordings in 1990, fifty-two years after his death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnquestionably the main influence on Muddy Waters and an entire generation of rock 'n' roll and blues musicians including Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones, Johnson is known for the ferocity and originality of his work, and for the tormented sensibility that lay behind it. Poisoned by a jealous husband at the age of twenty-seven, widely believed to have sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his musical gifts, Robert Johnson has long enjoyed a myth that has at times overshadowed his music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis brilliant ode to the “King of the Delta Blues” evokes the place and time that gave birth to the man and the myth and gracefully mirrors the world and artistry of Robert Johnson himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; U9780452279490\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used Purchases","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47568121004253,"sku":"9780452279490","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/396771.jpg?v=1773332546","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/searching-for-robert-johnson-by-peter-guralnick-used","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
