Contains rare photos, exclusive interviews and vivid re-creations of events in Johnson's life, 'Can't You Hear the Wind Howl' - Presents a compelling portrait of this enigmatic figure, revealing the man behind the myth. Over sixty years of mystery surround this strange, gifted artist who lived in the rural South of the 1920's and 30's.
