ROBERT JOHNSON: DEVILISH DETAIL


Robert Johnson: Devilish Detail on Nowness.com.
This is a video I illustrated for the 100th anniversary of Blues Legend Robert Johnson. Thanks to Legacy Recordings and Sony MusicSony has released a new box set of Johnson's late 1930s recordings, The Complete Original Masters: Centennial Edition, which includes a double-disc CD, a DVD of the 1997 documentary The Life and Music of Robert Johnson: Can't You Hear the Wind Howl? and 12 vinyl reproductions of his original records. The project was animated by The String Theory & the wildly talented John Vondracek. Thanks to all the porducers: Gretchen Brennison, Richard Alcock, Chris Lentz, and Adam Block. Writing by Robert Gordon & Eric Slovin. Sound design from Bionic Sound. Art Direction from Frank Harkins.
