BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON COLUMBIA 14425 1929 "Blind" Willie Johnson (1897-1945) was an African-American singer and guitarist whose music straddled the border between blues and spirituals. While the lyrics of most of his songs were religious, his music drew from both sacred and blues traditions. Among musicians, he is considered one of the greatest slide or bottleneck guitar artists who ever lived, as well as one of the most revered figures of depression-era gospel music. His music is distinguished by his powerful bass thumb-picking and gravelly false-bass voice, with occasional use of a tenor voice.His records have kept his music tremendously influential and his songs have been covered by several popular artists, including Led Zeppelin (who included his photo on their second album), Bob Dylan, The 77s, Beck, Phil Keaggy and The White Stripes who have covered "John the Revelator". The latter song was also recorded by delta blues musician Son House, while the song "Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning" was recorded by another delta blues musician, Fred McDowell. Both Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin covered "In My Time of Dying." Condition: VV+ See Pictures Below Note: All 78's Are Professionally Cleaned On A VPI Machine WITHOUT Alcohol
