Tales From the 33rd #1: The Crossroads

In this first episode of Tales from the 33rd, I dive into dive into one of the most fascinating and mysterious stories in music history—the legend of Mississippi blues musician Robert Johnson and how he allegedly sold his soul to the devil in exchange for musical talent. I cover Johnon’s connection the 33rd parallel, the location of the crossroads, the Dockery Plantation, Papa Legba and other African-American cultural traditions, Johnon’s lyrics to: Cross Road Blues, Me and the Devil Blues, and Hellhound on My Trail, his connection to the 27 Club, other artists who claim to have sold their souls such as Bob Dylan, Kanye West, Katy Perry, Eminem, and Snoop Dogg, I try to answer the question as to whether or not we can even sell our souls, Satan’s deceptions, salvation through Jesus Christ, and choosing the Light.
