The original Crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississippi
This is where the old highway 49 and old 61 intersect. According to folk legend,
the Crossroads is the location where the great Robert
Johson made a pact with the Devil. A beginning guitar player who couldn't
play a lick, Johnson "disappeared" for two years and emerged as
the greatest guitar player anyone had ever heard. His riffs are still studied
and immitated today.
