Late night tunes: Blind Willie Johnson edition

I was checking out the very excellent thread on our forums called What are you listening to today? and I saw Lucky Al’s briefest of posts extolling Blind Willie Johnson…

So I went off to have a look-see, an’ heresa whut ah found fo’ y’all…

Dark was the night, cold was the ground…

Trouble soon be over. This looks like a recreation, but I reckon it’s the man’s voice and playing for sure.

Never heard of Keni Lee Burgess before, but man can he play slide! Smooth as silk and a great voice too on his rendition of Blind Willie Johnson’s Nobody’s fault but mine.
