Blind Willie Johnson - King Of The Guitar Evangelists '2005

Tracks list

A mysterious and emblematic figure in Black America’s folklore, Blind
Willie Johnson left one of the most powerful collections of work in the
“holy blues” genre. His sermons, uttered in cries of gravel-voiced
rage, and the knife-edged slide-guitar he played, never ceased to influence even
the most prestigious musicians, from Fred McDowell to Ry Cooder. Wim Wenders
chose this itinerant preacher as one of the main characters in his film The Soul
of a Man, and the film in turn caused new accounts of the life and personality
of Blind Willie Johnson to be disclosed which threw new light on his music.
