ore than four dozen music historians, writers, producers and musicians are disputing the authenticity of a photograph of legendary blues guitarist Robert Johnson, pitting them against the musician’s estate over his legacy.

At issue for the dissenting scholars is a photo that the Johnson estate said it had authenticated in 2013 with the help of a forensic artist. With only two extant, confirmed photos of Johnson, the musician whose legend says he won preternatural talent in a bargain with the devil, a third would be extraordinarily valuable.

But in a lengthy article, the historians dissect the claim with help from forensic anthropologists, and declare that there is no substantial evidence to support the claim that the photo is of Johnson.

“Within the blues community the photo just got to be kind of like a joke in a sense,” said Bruce Conforth, a professor of American culture at the University of Michigan. “But all these signatories, we finally all got together and said, ‘Well, you know it’s time for this to no longer be a joke. It’s time to really put an end to this.”

it’s a Friday afternoon in Memphis and we’re in the midst of the 32nd annual International Blues Challenge, at a barbecue joint on the legendary Beale Street, where 150 people are waiting for a musician named Redd Velvet. I have been told she’ll be worth the wait, that there may be nothing more important onstage this week. So I’m there when this 40-something black woman walks onstage with a no-frills blue dress and an unmistakably regal bearing. There’s no band behind her. No instrument in her hands. It’s just her and a mike. She sits. Folks in the audience are still chatting, there’s a small din, so Redd looks around the room with piercing eyes, letting you know she’s not talking until it’s quiet. The flock who came to see her says, “Shhh!” The crowd settles down. With that Redd has set a high bar for herself—if you demand everyone to shut up before you start talking, you’d better have something to say.

Blues music emerged as an African American musical form related to both spirituals and work songs at the end of the nineteenth twentieth century and rapidly became popular across the cultures of the United States as blues sheet music began to appear in the early twentieth century. Blues became so popular in nineteen -teens and twenties, that many published songs that had none of the sound we think of as blues had "blues" in their titles. Though blues songs commonly expressed personal emotions and problems, such as lost love or longing for another place or time, they were also used to express despair at social injustice. Abel Meeropol, a Jewish poet who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Allen, wrote one of the most famous blues protest songs, "Strange Fruit," popularized by singer Billie Holiday. Meeropol first wrote it as a poem in reaction to the lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith in Indiana in 1930. Later he set his poem to music. Billy Holiday famously sang the song to close her performances, but her recording company, Columbia, refused to record it for fear of retaliation. Commodore Records agreed to produce it and it first appeared as a single in 1939. [1]

The music called the blues that emerged from Mississippi has shaped the development of popular music in this country and around the world.

Turn on the radio. You might pick up some rock with some tough guitar riffs – or some rap. But put on Robert Johnson’s recording of “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom,” and you’ll hear it all – set down in the 1930s by a man who combined elements of the music he heard with the genius that he got from God knows where – maybe the devil, if you want to believe the legend.

The mood and tone here clearly depicts the singer's depression. He feels sorry for himself because he has no one to rely on. He can depend only on himself.
