About this listen

In the heart of the Mississippi Delta during the early 20th century, Robert Johnson, a young man born into poverty, discovers solace in the blues, a music born from the suffering of his people. His journey is marked by struggles, addiction, and an unyielding desire for greatness. As he navigates the harsh realities of his time, Robert's passion for the blues drives him to seek legendary musicians, leading to sleepless nights and endless practice.

Robert's pursuit of mastery takes him on a perilous tour through the Chitlin' Circuit, a network of venues in the South, where he faces discrimination, poverty, and violence. Desperate for extraordinary musical talent, he ventures to the crossroads and strikes a mysterious bargain that transforms his abilities. The next time he performs, audiences are entranced by his unparalleled skill, and his career soars.

However, Robert's newfound fame extracts a heavy toll on his life, leading to complex relationships and a profound sense of guilt. When tragedy strikes, his journey takes a dark and inevitable turn.

Crossroads of the Soul: The Tragic Tale of Robert Johnson is a captivating exploration of Robert's life, his pursuit of artistic excellence, and the profound impact of his music. This story weaves a compelling narrative filled with somber beauty and haunting melodies, offering a poignant reflection on the complexities of fame and the enduring legacy of the blues.
