Growing up, I was deeply immersed in an alternative cultural milieu, idolizing visionaries like Orson Welles, Robert Altman, and the comedic duo Laurel and Hardy. These figures shaped my understanding of how images could captivate and influence the mind.
Admittedly, I sometimes felt a touch eccentric, but that's a story for another day. Amidst my search for a place to belong, I encountered a film that would alter the course of my life: Crossroads.

Crossroads is a film inspired by the legend of blues musician Robert Johnson. The screenplay's author was a genuine blues aficionado who, while tracing the footsteps of musicians who vanished from the bayou music scene, met a remarkable harp-blues artist. This musician claimed to have struck a deal with the devil at a crossroads, a narrative that fueled the creation of this movie during a journey to find him.
In my quest for more about this film and its music, I made an intriguing discovery: SoundCloud hosts an account featuring the original music from Crossroads. This includes tracks that were "censored" or "cut" from the official release. It's unfortunate that these pieces aren't available on the official channel, but the effort to unearth them was undoubtedly worthwhile.
Please, take a moment to experience the raw, uncensored essence of Crossroadsāa testament to the enduring power of music and storytelling. Enjoy the journey.
