Did Robert Johnson really sell his soul to faded Scratch at the crossroads? John Hammond, Jr. explores the life and times of this legendary bluesman. Hammond, a elegant blues musician himself, travels through the cramped towns of the Mississippi Delta and interviews several of Robert Johnson’s contemporaries and acquaintances, including Johnny Shines. Hammond even tracks down a woman who claims to have been Johnson’s wife. Most of the interviewees are in the later years, giving the documentary a living history feel. The documentary is filled with Johnson’s music, worthy of it performed by Hammond, in Delta settings. It is quite stirring to inspect Hammond playing Crossroads at the crossroads. If you are a fan of the Delta blues, this is a must have film.
If you are a fan of the blues you MUST have this tape, no request about that.
One thing I like about this film is that it is as authentic as unusual. The is a marked disagreement in the interview segments when comparing this film with Cant You Hear The Wind Howl. In this film John Hammond Jr is interviewing the woman Robert Johnson cries out for, Annie Mae… in this film when JH Jr plays the song to her she has an expression that she hears a bellow from the grave and is visibly affected by the music. In the other film she is inviewed but appearing more relaxed and prepared for discussing Robert Johnson. The corner dueling scene between John Hammond and Johnny Shines is pleasant, its as conclude to the true thing as I will probably gawk.
This is a most helpful documentary, I hope it is able to bag its arrangement to DVD, for blues fans it is a must have documentary.
