Robert Johnson and the REAL crossroads





There is no way to prove it 100%, but I am of the opinion this is likely the actual crossroads Robert Johnson and Tommy Johnson were known for. Its just past Dockery plantation where they, Son House and many other famous bluesmen played regularly, plus it matches up better with the legend, Johnsons lyrics and eyewitness accounts from people who played with Robert.

This would have been an epic night to go there and see it at midnight with a full moon overhead (Blood moon for the rest of the world).

I considered going to take a few pics myself but some family drama messed it up.

I am a blues guitarist from Mississippi and Arkansas, which is why its interests me personally.

Though obviously, I am a Christian and my soul is not for sale. Nor would I be interested in worldly fame and riches.

One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.

Recorded in 1928, the song gets more haunting as it progresses. Even though its the same guitar riff from the beginning.

Blues is the second definition of my life right now, mate. The first one is gray.
