Carolyn Waudby’s feature on the folklore of the Delta blues is published in the January 2020 edition of Fortean Times.

The article unravels the legend of how blues guitarist Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in return for musical prowess during an encounter at a crossroads near Memphis.

The story has inspired many a musician and songwriter – including Eric Clapton.
