Robert Johnson
Robert Johnson 🎶'Preachin' Blues' (Up jumped the devil). The animation "Hot Tamales,” by Riccardo Maneglia adapts the myth, and quotes from “Crossroad Blues”
In the mid-1960s, MLK asked Chicago bluesmen Junior Wells and Willie Dixon to march with him in Chicago. MLK explained that they must first pledge nonviolence, but since both men refused to accept racism passively, neither man walked with King, according to Wells.

手斧!?
The briefcase that Sonny Boy Williamson II carried onstage held the following items: a bottle of whiskey, a pack of cigarettes, a belt of harps in all keys, and a hatchet. In his suit pocket, a switchblade.

This #photo of Willie Dixon was likely taken in Dixon’s hometown (@VisitVicksburg) in the #1960s. #Funfactfriday: After the store’s founder Michel Fedell died, his wife kept his coat hanging on a door inside the store, as it had been since he opened it on 5-11-62. #music #History
During the era of @ElvisPresley, Chicagoans could find Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup (“That’s Alright, Momma”) playing #bluesmusic in the murky darkness under the elevated train tracks at 35th and Wabash. #mondaythoughts #music #History

My favorite Muddy album.
“Electric Mud" sold well upon release before the critics convinced Muddy Waters he'd made a mistake. Muddy turned on both the LP and the record execs who put him up to making it. In 2020s, it’s being embraced by new #bluesmusic fans who don't carry any 1960s #music snob baggage.
“Rosetta Tharpe's life is a classic American tall tale, except that it happened.”
