Story
Robert Johnson is the subject of the most famous myth about the blues: he allegedly sold his soul at the crossroads in exchange for his incredible talent, and this deal led to his death at age 27. But the actual story of his life remains unknown save for a few inaccurate anecdotes. Up Jumped the Devil is the result of over 50 years of research. Gayle Dean Wardlow has been interviewing people who knew Robert Johnson since the early 1960s, and he was the person who discovered Johnson's death certificate in 1967.

Story
When blues master Robert Johnson's recordings were rereleased to great fanfare in the 1960s, little was known about his life, giving rise to legends that he gained success by selling his soul to the devil. Biography of a Phantom is musicologist Mack McCormick's search, from the late 1960s until McCormick's death in 2015, to uncover Johnson's life story. McCormick spent decades reconstructing Johnson's mysterious life and developing theories about his untimely death at the age of 27, but never made public his discoveries. Biography of a Phantom publishes his compelling work for the first time.

Story
Un roman policier passionnant et une recherche historique sur la courte vie de Robert Johnson, considéré par la plupart comme le grand-père du rock mais adoré par les fans de blues. Un récit fascinant et peut-être la réponse d’un arcane obscur, dense d’ésotérisme et de fanatisme religieux, qui conduisirent à la mort violente et prématurée de celui qui fut qualifié de Fils du Diable. Qu’en est-il du talent artistique de Robert Johnson ? A-t-il vraiment conclu un pacte avec Satan pour obtenir la célébrité et l’honneur dans le monde de la musique ?

Story
Una novela emocionante y una investigación histórica sobre la breve vida de Robert Johnson, considerado por la mayoría como el abuelo del rock pero amadísimo de locos del blues. Una narración apasionante y quizá la solución de un nudo oscuro, denso de esoterismo y fanatismo religioso, que llevaron a la muerte violenta y prematura de aquel que fue marcado como Hijo del Diablo.

This diligent study of Johnson's life debunks these myths while emphasizing the effect that Robert Johnson, said to be the greatest blues musician who ever lived, has had on modern musicians such as Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones and fans of the blues. Tom Graves, a master of what Ernest Hemingway called "the true sentence" and the telling detail, pieces together the fragments of the jagged, elusive puzzle that is Robert Johnson.

Story
"Leute fragen mich immer wieder, wo der Blues denn eigentlich begann, und alles, was ich sagen kann, ist, dass, als ich ein Junge war, wir immer auf den Feldern gesungen haben. Es war kein richtiges Singen, na ja, eher so Schreien, aber wir machten unsere Songs über Sachen, die uns damals tatsächlich passierten, und ich denke, das war die Zeit, als der Blues begann." (Son House 1965) Es ist heute unumstritten, dass der Blues einen gewaltigen Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der modernen Rock- und Popmusik genommen hat.
