The story of Robert Johnson is intriguing but this could have been a 10 minute documentary

The story of Robert Johnson is undoubtedly a fascinating one, It's incredible the impact he had on the music industry and I would absolutely recommend watching this or doing your own research.

The biggest problem is that (as the documentary self confesses) not a lot is known about the life of Robert Johnson and as such it feels like there is very little 'meat on the bone' for a documentary. (In short he couldn't play guitar, disappears for over a year and then comes back a phenomenon, before passing on way too soon).
