DVD Reviews of The Search for Robert Johnson
DVD Review: Great investigative work, revealing facts unknown before
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful documentary. The reporter (who is an astounding blues player) interviews people who knew Robert. I won't spoil it, just watch it, you won't be disappointed...
Awesome
DVD Review: Outstanding Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
While this may not be for everyone, it is an outstanding look at the legend of Robert Johnson who himself was a blues legend. It is a search through the Southeastern US for the real truth about him and includes interview footage of people who knew him well. Fascinating material if you love the Blues.DVD Review: The Search for Robert Johnson
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best documentaries on Robert Johnson ever made. John Hammond Jr. also performs some of Johnson's songs which is an added treat. Very informative and as factual as can be expected, considering that we know so little about many of the details of Johnson's life. I would highly recommend this documentary for any serious Robert Johnson fan.

DVD Review: The search for Robert Johnson
Summary: 5 Stars
This video was great, if you are a fan of blues music and of history and especially of Robert Johnson who "sold his soul to the devil" you will love it. It is well worth the money.DVD Review: Good Information
Summary: 3 Stars
This documentary would have been much better, and shorter without the film maker inserting himself into the film with his singing and playing guitar. I like Robert Johnson, but the documentary maker is just not talented in those fields.
