Elvis Presley’s Birthplace. The family was incredibly poor.The legendary Crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississippi. I am pretty sure that the Church’s wasn’t there in Robert Johnson’s time. But the devil probably wasn’t either…“I went down to Rosedale….” The whole trip was very rural and often very poor.The Tallahatchie River which was noted in Bobbie Gentry song “Ode to Billy Joe.” Discovered by accident searching for Robert Johnson’s gravesite.The church where Robert Johnson is buried.It’s incredible to think that this Robert Johnson would have no hint of the impact that his songs would have decades after his death. In his time, he had one minor, regional hit record.
