Blind Willie Johnson
Sweeter As The Years Go By
Yazoo 1078 - New 180 gram re-issue pressing
Blind Willie Johnson was perhaps the finest singing evangelist of all time. The 16 tracks on this LP are an invigorating and vital part of his legacy. Johnson played acoustic rather than slide on several cuts, and didn't take flamboyant solos or add slashing counterpoint, but he demonstrated a skillful use of repetition and outstanding rhythmic and melodic skills. Johnson teamed with Willie B. Harris on several songs, and her rough, cutting voice proved an ideal match with his equally ragged sound.
