This book is an attempt to explore Robert Johnson, his music, and his place in blues history, but more than that it is a broad exploration of the whole history of blues, asking what it would look like if we thought of it as African-American popular music --which it was from about -- rather than as a roots, folk style. In the process, I discuss not only the music, but also the world in which it thrived.

ROBERT JOHNSON AND THE INVENTION OF THE BLUES. by Elijah Wald ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 1, A reconsideration of the Mississippi blues singer’s legend in the context of the popular music of his time. Wald, author of the engaging musical travelogue Narcocorridos, attempts to debunk the sizable myths surrounding Robert Johnson, today the most lionized of ’30s Delta blues singers. Elijah Wald's research suggests RJ was not the tortured artist recluse who single-handedly invented the Delta Blues. Rather, Wald suggests - with full respect for the talent and genious of the man - Robert Johnson was a talented and skilled entertainer of the time who listened to and mastered many of the diverse contemporary music styles of his time - and then he created his own songs echoing these popular styles. Washington City Paper Arts Entertainment: Book Review Highway 61 Revisited By Glenn Dixon • Janu The blues was invented by white people: Although that’s the incendiary thesis behind Elijah Wald’s provocative new book, "Escaping the Delta: Robert Johnson and the Invention of the Blues," it’s unlikely to anger many African-Americans.
