Robert Johnson is rightly recognized as one of the blues greats, but he wasn't widely acknowledged until decades after his death. The documentary "Can't You Hear the Wind Howl? The Life & Music of Robert Johnson" looks at him and the stories about him. Danny Glover hosts, with Keb' Mo' playing Johnson. The documentary does kind of over-emphasize things like Johnson's trading his soul for skills, but I do like that it helps to introduce people to Johnson's music. As it was, it was the British Invasion of the '60s that introduced Americans to a lot of the music that was right under Americans' noses but unacknowledged. I recommend the documentary.
