Welcome to the Corrupt Podcast!
Robert Johnson was an American musician and songwriter in the 1930s. According to legend, Robert met the devil at a crossroads and was the first musician to sell his soul for rock and roll. Robert’s death at 27 years old, would be as mysterious as his life. The 1961 release of his album, King of the Delta Blues Singers, brought Robert fame. He would influence artists like Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Jack White, and Led Zeppelin.
