Desc : An intimate memoir by blues legend Robert Johnson's
stepsister, including new details about his family, music,
influences, tragic death, and musical afterlifeThough only
27-years-young and relatively unknown at the time of his tragic
death in 1938, Robert Johnson's enduring recordings have
solidified his status as a progenitor of the Delta Blues style.
And yet, while his music has retained the steadfast devotion of
modern listeners, much remains unknown about the man who penned
and played these timeless tunes. Few people alive today actually
remember what Johnson was really like, and those who do have
largely upheld their silence-until now.In Brother Robert,
nonagenarian Annye Anderson sheds new light on a real-life
figure largely obscured by his own legend: her kind and
incredibly talented stepbrother, Robert Johnson. This book
chronicles Johnson's unconventional path to stardom-from the
harrowing story behind his illegitimate birth, to his first
strum of the guitar on Anderson's father's knee, to the
genre-defining recordings that would one day secure his legacy.
Along the way, readers are gifted not only with Anderson's
personal anecdotes, but with colorful recollections passed down
to Anderson by members of their family-the people who knew
Johnson best. Readers also learn about the contours of his
working life in Memphis, never-before-disclosed details about
his romantic history, and all of Johnson's favorite things, from
foods and entertainers to brands of tobacco and pomade.
Together, these stories don't just bring the mythologized
Johnson back down to earth; they preserve both his memory and
his integrity.For decades, Anderson and her family have ignored
the tall tales of Johnson selling his soul to the devil and the
speculative to fictionalized accounts of his life that passed
for biography. Brother Robert is here to set the record
straight. Featuring a foreword by Elijah Wald and a Q&A with
Anderson, Lauterbach, Wald, and Peter Guralnick, this book
paints a vivid portrait of an elusive figure who forever changed
the musical landscape as we know it.
