In this episode of Down the Crooked Path, we step into the shadowy depths of one of music’s most chilling legends—the story of Robert Johnson and his infamous deal at the crossroads.

Who was Robert Johnson? A blues guitarist who rose from obscurity to become one of the most hauntingly talented musicians in history. But behind his genius, rumors swirled—that one fateful night, he met a dark figure at the crossroads and exchanged his soul for talent beyond human limits.

We unravel the truth behind the legend, exploring the eerie origins of crossroads folklore, the whispers of Johnson’s mysterious past, and the lasting impact of his music. Was it simply dedication and genius, or did supernatural forces guide his hand?

Tune in as we travel down the crooked path to uncover the secrets buried in the dust of the crossroads.
