{"product_id":"blind-willie-johnson-complete-recordings-of-blind-willie","title":"COMPLETE RECORDINGS OF BLIND WILLIE","description":"Personnel includes: Blind Willie Johnson (slide guitar, vocals).\nReissue producers: Lawrence Cohn, Gary Pacheco.\nRecorded between 1927 and 1930. Includes liner notes by Samuel Charters.\nDigitally remastered by David Mitson (Sony Music Studios, Los Angeles, California).\nThis is part of Columbia\/Legacy's Roots N' Blues series.\nA bottleneck guitarist of consummate skill, Blind Willie Johnson was a traveling evangelist who preached the gospel by playing and singing such message-heavy tunes as \"I Know His Blood Can Make Me Whole,\" and \"If It Had Not Been for Jesus.\" But there is not a whit of squeaky-clean, Sunday-morning sweetness to Johnson's music. Overwhelmingly intense, Johnson's performances are all open wounds and raw nerves. THE COMPLETE collects everything the artist ever recorded, and makes a case for Johnson as one of the most passionate, affecting bluesmen of all time.\nIt is Johnson's singing that truly startles. A gruff yet finely nuanced bass, Johnson sings with a voice that could grind glass, wrenching out spiritually committed messages in a manner both primal and sublime. Johnson also displays great variety, be it the stark, understated intensity of \"Dark Was the Night - Cold Was the Ground\" (where he wordlessly vocalizes in a hush over ghostly riffs) or the full-tilt prophetic perfection of \"John the Revelator\" (a duet with Willie Harris). THE COMPLETE BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON is an utterly essential set of the most hair-raising gospel blues ever put to tape. Be prepared.","brand":"Blind Willie Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563901874409,"sku":"GGUBI6-PS99-00","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Blind-Willie-Johnson-COMPLETE-RECORDINGS-OF-BLIND-WILLIE_60UJf.jpg?v=1759037441","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/blind-willie-johnson-complete-recordings-of-blind-willie","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
