Robert Leroy Johnson (1911-1938) war ein US-amerikanischer Bluesmusiker. Er gilt im Blues als einer der bekanntesten Gitarristen, Sänger und Songwriter, man nennt ihn auch den "King of the Delta Blues". Johnson nahm in in den Jahren 1936 und 1937 29 Songs in 41 Takes auf. Sein Verdienst liegt vor allem in der Umwandlung der frühen Bluesmusik von Charlie Patton, Son House und Skip James zu einem neuen Stil, der dann von Musikern wie Muddy Waters und Elmore James aufgegriffen wurde. Eine weitere Besonderheit der Lieder Johnsons besteht darin, dass er sich teilweise mit Gesang und Gitarrenspiel in verschiedenen Rhythmen bewegte. So entstand der Eindruck, als ob mehrere Personen spielten. Der "Rolling Stone" listete Johnson auf Rang 23 der 100 größten Songwriter sowie auf Rang 71 der 100 größten Gitarristen aller Zeiten. Die Melodien der Songs sind in Tabulatur und klassischer Notenschrift notiert. Die vertonten Lieder sind in einem Soundplayer mit regelbarer Abspielgeschwindigkeit online verfügbar.

Download or read book Up Jumped the Devil written by Bruce Conforth and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Bruce Conforth began his study of Johnson's life and music in 1970 and made it his mission to fill in what was still unknown about him. In this definitive biography, the two authors relied on every interview, resource and document, most of it material no one has seen before. As a result, this book not only destroys every myth that ever surrounded Johnson, but also tells a human story of a real person. It is the first book about Johnson that documents his years in Memphis, details his trip to New York, uncovers where and when his wife Virginia died and the impact this had on him, fully portrays the other women Johnson was involved with, and tells exactly how and why he died and who gave him the poison that killed him. Up Jumped the Devil will astonish blues fans who thought they knew something about Johnson.

Download or read book Searching for Robert Johnson written by Peter Guralnick and published by New York : Dutton. This book was released on 1989 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Johnson, while probably the most influential of all blues guitarists, is also one of the most obscure. Recognized as an influence on musicians like Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones, Johnson was poisoned by a jealous husband in 1938--at the age of twenty-seven. This untimely death, his supposed bargain with the devil that enabled him to play guitar, and the ferocity and tormented originality of his work have given rise to a legend that has inspired a Hollywood movie and numerous stories.Peter Guralnick's extended essay about the life of the man and the myth, and of the place and time that produced both, illuminates much of the obscurity around Johnson without forfeiting any of the mystery.

Download or read book Innovators written by Donald R. Kirsch and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific breakthroughs that changed the way we understand the world—and the fascinating stories of the scientists behind them Some of the most significant breakthroughs in science don’t receive widespread recognition until decades later, sometimes after their author’s death. Nobel Prize–winner Max Planck, whose black-body radiation law established the discipline of quantum mechanics, stated this as what has become known as Planck’s principle, commonly summarized as “Science progresses one funeral at a time.” In other words, for some truly groundbreaking discoveries, a new consensus builds only when proponents of the old consensus die off. Breakthrough discoveries require a paradigm shift, and it takes time and new minds for the new paradigm to be adopted. In Innovators, Donald Kirsch tells the stories of sixteen visionary scientists who suffered this fate, some now famous like Max Planck himself, Galileo, and Gregor Mendel, and some less well known. Among them are Barbara McClintock who, working with Indian corn, discovered transposons, also known as jumping genes, which provide a major mechanism driving biological evolution; Rachel Carson, catalyst for the environmental movement; and Roger Revelle, the climatologist whose findings were the first to be described by the term “global warming.” The breakthroughs cover fields from biology to medicine to physics and earth sciences and include the discovery of prions, life-changing treatments such as drugs for high blood pressure, ulcers, and organ transplantation; the process of continental drift; and our understanding of how molecules form matter.
Download or read book Love in Vain written by J. M. Dupont and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 'Crossroads Blues' to 'Sweet Home Chicago', 'Hellhound on My Trail' to 'Come On In My Kitchen', Robert Johnson wrote some of the most enduring and formative songs of the original blues era, songs that would go on to help shape the birth of rock'n'roll in the 1960s. Beloved of Clapton, Dylan and the Stones, Robert Johnson remains one of the most iconic and mythologised figures in popular music (and the first of many to die at the age of 27). Born in the in the South in Mississippi, Johnson made his way to the urban North as a travelling musician, but it was only when he returned to the South that he recorded the twenty-nine songs, in two sessions, which would create his legacy.Exploring the stories and legends that surround his life and death - his childhood, his womanising, his pact with the devil at the crossroads - Mezzo and DuPont have produced a fittingly creative and beautiful depiction of this most extraordinary life.

Download or read book Robert Johnson written by Barry Lee Pearson and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2008-03-18 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With just forty-one recordings to his credit, Robert Johnson (1911-38) is a giant in the history of blues music. Johnson's vast influence on twentieth-century American music, combined with his mysterious death at the age of twenty-seven, has allowed speculation and myths to obscure the facts of his life. The most famous of these legends depicts a young Johnson meeting the Devil at a dusty Mississippi crossroads at midnight and selling his soul in exchange for prodigious guitar skills. In this volume, Barry Lee Pearson and Bill McCulloch examine the full range of writings about Johnson and sift fact from fiction. They compare conflicting accounts of Johnson's life, weighing them against interviews with blues musicians and others who knew the man. Through their extensive research Pearson and McCulloch uncover a life every bit as compelling as the fabrications and exaggerations that have sprung up around it. In examining Johnson's life and music, and the ways in which both have been reinvented and interpreted by other artists, critics, and fans, Robert Johnson: Lost and Found charts the broader cultural forces that have mediated the expression of African American artistic traditions.
