Book Reviews of Searching for Robert Johnson: The Life and Legend of the "King of the Delta Blues Singers"
Book Review: Too Short even for someone who died in their twenties.
Summary: 3 Stars
At less than 100 pages I do not think I learned more about Robert Johnson than I did after eading the notes for his Boxed Set. If Sam Cooke deserved over 700 pages, from Guralnek, in his short life, Robert Johnson deserved more than a 100 .
