Delta Blues master Robert Johnson is often credited as the father of Rock and Roll. His work had a huge influence on musicians like Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and the members of Led Zeppelin, just to name a few. But Johnson lived a very short life in near obscurity. We'll look back on his music, his legacy and his legend with blues historian and musician Scott Ainslie. Scott will perform at the Roots on the River Festival on Thursday, June 7th.
