The indelible man that was... Robert Johnson is a story as American as apple pie... He not only influenced everyone from Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones to Public Enemy, this man is recognized as influencing Rock N' Roll above and beyond... Legend has it that he made a deal with devil himself.. If that's not Rock N' Roll then I don't know what is. From the blues on the fields of the south to the streets of the north... This man is the original rebel and voice that cries out from the bottom to break the norms on the top... I don't care if it's rock n' roll, punk, ska, hip hop, or what have you... It all stems from somewhere... The raspy soul of America's repressed south has played inspiration to the minds of many... Whether you're in working class Liverpool or the South Boogie Down... Robert Johnson has played a part in the fervor of the underlying edge and rebellion that we all love in music and style that says what it means and does what it wants...
