Brother Robert by Annye C. Anderson If you are looking for a Read about the musician and some insight into his career this is not the book for you. However, if you would like some first hand insight into the day to day life of urban blacks in the South in the 30's this is a great read. Quite frankly, you could replace Robert Johnson with anyone else and it would make little to no difference in this narrative. The story is told from the perspective of a much younger sibling with an obvious case of hero- worship for an older brother who treated her kindly. Mrs. Anderson, as she insists on being called with the quiet dignity rarely seen in todays modern world,discounts the words of Johnsons contemporaries such as Son House, Honeyboy Edwards and Johnny Shines, the latter two being sometimes traveling partners of Johnson but does clarify with " I didn't keep him in my pocket" a phrase she uses often in relation to her step-brother meaning she didn't know about anything that happened when she wasn't with him. The second half of the book deals with the surviving sisters being cheated out of Johnsons legacy and estate by unscrupulous record producers and the legal battles that ensued, showing that it is not only the crimminal legal system that treats black Americans unfairly but the entire American Judicial system. All in All a very good and fast read but not much to do with the Musician other than his legacy and the legal battles that surrounded it.
