 T R I C K S T E R ! : Robert Johnson is Still the King
Johnson's rediscovery and rehabilitation in the 1960s--when he went from forgotten and unknown to titan and genius--was something like the critical rediscovery of Herman Melville's then mostly forgotten works in the 1920s.
The contention of the Johnson revisionists is that because Johnson's work is derived from the earlier work of Tommy Johnson, Son House, Leroy Carr, Kokomo Arnold, the obscure Hambone Willie Newburn and others (say, WC Handy's "Yellow Dog Blues"), it does not deserve the reputation it has gained.
Johnson took material that had been floating around among his peers and predecessors, cleaned it up, approached it with a kind of ambition and precision--professionalism even--and therefore wasn't keeping it real.
