A remarkable story, but is it true? Before his rise to fame, Robert was a terrible guitarist. Often chased off stage. Other well known musicians would recall these events and dismissed him as a hack. In one year, Robert would return and display an incredible improvement. Outplaying those well known musicians. This is where the legend of Robert selling his soul would come from. But was it just intense practice and honing his craft and skill, or are those legends real. You decide. From The Strangest on TT “Deal with the Devil - Amencan blues musician Robert Johnson was said to have sold his soul to the devil. The story is that he went to the crossroads near a plantation at midnignt and met the devil, who took his guitar, tuned it, played a few songs, and handed the guitar back, granting him mastery of the instrument.“ #robertjohnson #dealwiththedevil #wasitreal #unexplained #downtherabbithole

Some songs just hold too much power. This is “Me And The Devil” by the Austrian artist Soap&Skin. It’s actually a cover of a 1930s Robert Johnson blues song, but she turned it into a terrifying, industrial masterpiece. The heavy breathing, the distorted drums, and the haunting vocals make it the ultimate anthem for anyone entering their “villain era.” It’s intense, uncomfortable, and absolutely addictive.

🎵 Me and the Devil Blues – Robert Johnson “Me and the Devil Blues” is a classic blues song recorded in 1937 by Robert Johnson. The song tells a dark, symbolic story about walking side by side with the devil, which represents inner struggles, guilt, temptation, and hardship. In blues music, the “devil” is often used as a metaphor for pain, trouble, or difficult life choices rather than something literal. The song reflects loneliness and emotional conflict, with a haunting guitar style that became very influential in rock and blues history. Over time, it became one of the most famous Delta blues songs ever recorded.

We’ve got it b-b-b-b-bad for George Thorogood and the Destroyers ☠️ “I can’t play anything else!” @georgethorogoodofficial said about his signature blues rock style. “George Thorogood knows two songs, and about a hundred variations of those two songs...[I started playing blues because] I dug it. There are certain areas of it that I adapted to very quickly. John Lee Hooker[‘s] style of guitar and the slide guitar of Elmore James. And I also know a lot of Robert Johnson. John Hammond was a big influence, too. I just thought that was a natural way to go.”    Check out our George Thorogood & The Destroyers installation in our Legends exhibit to see the instruments used on “Bad To The Bone” and more! Now open on Level 5 of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

“Me and the Devil” is Soap&Skin’s dark reinterpretation of a 1930 blues song originally recorded by Robert Johnson. The original was written at a time when Johnson’s music was surrounded by myths about selling his soul to the devil. Soap&Skin stripped it down to something almost unbearable — slowing it, hollowing it out, and turning the blues into a confession about guilt, shame, and self-destruction. It isn’t meant to be comfortable. It’s meant to feel like you’re overhearing a secret you weren’t supposed to hear.

Robert Johnson is said to have made a deal at a crossroads in exchange for extraordinary guitar skills. Songs like Cross Road Blues and Me and the Devil Blues make the story feel even more real with their dark and symbolic lyrics. Is it a myth or just a Mississippi folk tale? One thing is clear: his name is immortal in blues history. 🎶🔥 #creative #ArtClass #DanceMedan #MusicMedan #MedanArts

Gonna miss him so so much, Paul had some difficulty sometimes with his mental health ,but did try his very best and not be down, but like so many people he struggled with some of life's hassles. He had just signed his first record deal underlies own name which showed that he didn't need to rely on dad, and that was a massive proud moment for me hopefully there may just be enough recordings to leave you all with an album and his name will live on Rip Jnr "see you on the other side" Lotsa luv Dad xxx below is a sample ofothers who left us all too soon , great artists around the same age as junior, • Robert Johnson – 27, blues pioneer, probable poisoning, 1938. • Sam Cooke – 33, soul singer, shot in Los Angeles, 1964. • Otis Redding – 26, plane crash, 1967. • Jimi Hendrix – 27, asphyxia related to barbiturates, 1970. • Janis Joplin – 27, heroin overdose, 1970. • Jim Morrison – 27, heart failure, likely drug‑related, 1971. • Gram Parsons – 26, drug overdose, 1973. • Bob Marley – 36, cancer (melanoma that spread), 1981. • Randy Rhoads – 25, plane crash, 1982. • Cliff Burton (Metallica) – 24, bus crash, 1986. • Andy Gibb – 30, myocarditis with drug/alcohol history, 1988. • Jeff Buckley – 30, accidental drowning, 1997. • Aaliyah – 22, plane crash, 2001. • Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes – 30, car crash, 2002. • Tupac Shakur – 25, shot in Las Vegas, 1996. • The Notorious B.I.G. – 24, shot in Los Angeles, 1997. • Selena – 23, shot by her fan‑club president, 1995. • Kurt Cobain – 27, suicide by gunshot, 1994. • Ian Curtis (Joy Division) – 23, suicide, 1980.
