4.0 out of 5 stars There is not much else you need to know about Robert Johnson, 7 Sep 2001

By	brian.cradden@btinternet.com - See all my reviews

This review is from: Searching for Robert Johnson: Life and Legend of the King of the Delta Blues Singers (Paperback)

Peter Guralnick has written some of the best words ever written about music covering blues, Rock `n` Roll, Country and Soul. This is probably the most complete book on Robert Johnsons life. It also gives you a good blues lesson, telling the story of blues before and after Robert Johnson. He tells the story with the aid of a little romance as he describes the feeling of first seeing the Robert Johnson album, buying it and taking it home for the first time. He gives all the available evidence on Robert Johnson without taking away any of the mystery, leaving you with the idea that maybe he really did sell his soul and that the myths might be true.
