Compilation info
All songs recorded between 1928 – 1931. Taken from the Yazoo records site:
“The most impassioned and influential of all early guitar evangelists, Johnson ranks far above his peers from an artistic standpoint. As a bottleneck guitarist, he remains of the greatest who ever lived; as a vocalist, his impassioned singing conveys an immediacy and fervor that admits few equals. These albums contain his complete works.”
The man attributed to turning a young John Fahey into a blues convert, Blind Willie Johnson had a power that could be symbolized best by the stark contrast within his vocal range, frequently going from a roar to a whisper in a split second, or within his affinity for country blues musical styles coupled with his staunchly evangelical views, recording in a period of time where many bluesmen were criticized by the evangelical community for their connection to secular music.
