NotesSimply put, "The greatest rural spiritual artist to record" (Rolling Stone Record Guide). Johnson's apocalyptic Christian vision, his unbelievable bottleneck playing and his unmistakable vocal growl pack a shattering emotional punch perhaps matched only by Robert Johnson. 30 sides, including Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground.

Definitive Slide Guitar
I searched out this album after I read an interview with Ry Cooder who evidently revered Blind Willie Johnson as the king of slide guitar. This is a 2 CD set supposedly containing all his recorded works. The album is great but maybe a little flawed. The first seven or so songs on CD1 are really marvellous. Good blues songs with fantastic slide guitar and his distinctive singing. Hmm yes the singing. Blind Willie is capable of smooth and mellow tones but mostly relies on a strange artificial rasping grating noise that mostly reminds me of Popeye. But underneath is extraordinary slide playing. He plays great bluesey riffs but on top of that he echoes his singing with little throw away phrases and you can hardly wonder how he can think about three things at once. After the first few congs on CD1 and all the way through CD2 a female backing singer appears. As far as I am concerned she adds nothing except an annoying bleating sound in the background. The best old blues is one to one and the backing singer breaks that unique link to the listener. But if you can put up with her the songs are good.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
