What I've Been Watchin'..

So while I'm researching for my brief, any spare time I get I'll watch a documentary, short clip, interview etc.. to gain even more knowledge of the blues and Robert Johnson. I'm also doing this to gain a better understanding of how things were around the time that Johnson was alive, and to feed details and information into my brain so that I can better establish a more detailed and convincing concept for my work. 

Heres a song to enjoy if you fancy it... 

Mississippi Shakes - Sittin' On Top Of The World.
