Show#6 - Blind Willy Johnson
Haunting, enchanting, and evocative, Blind Willy Johnson's Good Friday masterpiece, Dark Was The Night And Cold Was The Ground, survives as one of the strongest musical reflections on The Crucifixion ever created. It came from the imagination and guitar of Blind Willy Johnson whose gospel influenced compositions include such blues classics as John the Revelator, Soul of a Man, and Ain't Nobody's Fault But Mine.
In this piece we hear many of these tunes, by a wide range of artists, and learn about the street preacher/bluesman who recorded 30 gospel blues classics in under 3 years.
