American Nightmares 25: "The Devil's Music - Part 5"
Friday, 31 July, 2026
When it comes to music curses – and the Devil’s Music itself – there is no musician more closely linked to the supernatural than Robert Johnson, the legendary bluesman who allegedly sold his soul to the Devil at a crossroads in the Mississippi Delta for magical playing skills and a handful of tunes. Robert would go on to become the founding member of the sinister “27 Club” but that’s not the only curse that’s been linked to the young guitar player. There’s also the so-called CROSSROADS’ BLUES CURSE.The legend of the curse states that Robert, with his deal with the Devil, became the first victim of the song that he wrote and made famous. He died a horrible death after being murdered by a jealous husband – stabbed, shot, or poisoned, depending on the version of the story you hear – and was buried in an unmarked grave for decades. But Robert Johnson was only the first victim of his own curse – he wouldn’t be the last.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
