Review

Blind Willie Johnson (1902-1947) is one of the great gospel blues legends. Initially a preacher who gave sermons in the street, Johnson first became known for his powerful voice, but it was his masterful slide guitar playing that would soon write his name in the annals of blues. He recorded around 30 songs between 1927-1931, many of which would be covered by the likes of Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Ry Cooder (''Dark Was The Night'' inspired Cooder for the soundtrack of Paris, Texas). The track ''If I Had My Way'' was a success in the 1960s for Peter, Paul and Mary and ''The Soul Of A Man'' will give the title to a Wim Wenders film telling the story of Johnson, Skip James and JB Lenoir. This 78 min 25 track collection includes much of Johnson's recorded work making it an essential tribute to this artist.
