Description

The three stories in this small book are a work of fiction inspired by the haunting and ambitious music of Robert Johnson. Given the state of the 1930s Mississippi Delta, Mr. Johnson wrote and performed with bold and reckless confidence. The core of the Delta bluesmen can be heard in the bones of today's commercial music. If you listen hard you can hear Mr. Johnson leaving town, leaving a woman, waiting for his train, sitting against a tree strumming his guitar quietly. This small book is for those who hear that.

Author Biography:

David Singer reviews music weekly for the Daily Gazette (Schenectady, N.Y.), covering nearly 50 concerts a year. He has listened, read and thought about Robert Johnson for decades. This book is how he imagines the life Robert Johnson lived.
