JOHNSON, BLIND WILLIE
DARK WAS THE NIGHT, COLD WAS THE GROUND
LP (Night)
More than anyone, Blind Willie Johnson embodies the archetype of the cursed bluesman. Despite the fact that his sold fairly well at his time, this singer/preacher lived his whole life in total misery. However, his songwriting, guitar style, a mixture of picking and slide, influenced several generations of musicians. And like many of his contemporaries, it was not until the 60's that his talent would finally be recognized at its fair value. 180g vinyl / Hard-cardboard sleeve. SIDE 1: 1.
