This is "The Crossroads," the location where the legend says blues musician Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil for the ability to play a mean guitar. The actual location of "The Crossroads" is of course in dispute also. Some claim it is at the intersection of Highways 8 and 1 south of Rosedale. Others say it was at Dockery Plantation, near Clarksdale. Clarksdale, the birthplace of the blues, lays claim to the location of Highways 61 and 49 and has staked that claim with a giant guitar sign. Highway 61 is known as the "blues highway" and Highway 49 is the road to Parchman Prison, inspiration for many blues songs.
