Sharp as a knife and chilling as an ice storm — there's no topping Blind Willie
-
We Say...
If you're talking about gospel blues, you've got to talk about one of the all-time greatest Delta blues dudes, Blind Willie Johnson, who recorded solely spirituals in the late '20s. His voice was rough-hewn and intense and his playing knife-sharp and telepathic; if you're already a fan of Bukka White and Charley Patton, you absolutely need to hear this. (And if you're not, you may want to check the sound samples first to make sure it's not too intense!) "Dark Was the Night," which mimics a sermon with moaning and slide guitar, is surely among the most chilling songs ever recorded.

They Say...
Yazoo's Praise God I'm Satisfied is an excellent collection of 14 tracks Blind Willie Johnson recorded in the '30s, including such numbers as "Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed," "Praise God I'm Satisfied," "Rain Don't Fall on Me" and "Jesus Is Coming Soon." These are excellent, haunting recordings, boasting some stellar guitar work, but everything that's on this disc and its companion, Sweeter as the Years Go By, is included on Columbia/Legacy's The Complete Recordings of Blind Willie Johnson, which makes this unnecessary for any serious listener.
