Clarksdale is a city in Mississippi, and is located along the Sunflower River. Many African-American musicians developed the blues here, and took this original American music with them to Chicago and other northern cities during the Great Migration. With that being said, the blues brings us to one of Clarksdale's most famous stories, Robert Johnson and the Devil's Crossroads. As according to local legend, it’s the spot where Robert Johnson made his deal with the devil to play the blues like none other.
