This 16-song collection features some of his best, most classic work, a distillation of the 30 songs he recorded (all of which are available on Complete Recordings of Blind Willie Johnson). Unlike his peers, however, Johnson's focus was on spiritual music, which he performed in church and on street corners, his chilling, gravelly voice complemented by guitar work that is nothing short of exquisite. Many of the songs taken up and popularized by Johnson's contemporaries and successors were written by him, and they're all here: \"John the Revelator,\" \"Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed,\" \"If I Had My Way I'd Tear the Building Down,\" \"Lord I Just Can't Keep from Crying,\" \"It's Nobody's Fault but Mine,\" and of course \"Dark Was the Night--Cold Was the Ground.\" Dark Was the Night is a worthy introduction to this seminal artist's work. --Genevieve Williams\n\nProduct Description\n\nHowlin' Wolf sounded like a choir boy next to Blind Willie Johnson. His guttural growl and masterful slide guitar made him the hero of guys like Eric Clapton and Ry Cooder, and this anthology contains some of Willie's most revered performances, including Dark Was the Night-Cold Was the Ground; It's Nobody's Fault but Mine; Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed; The Soul of a Man , and 12 more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 766126402424\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0766126402424\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48372850229507,"sku":"4C-E60P-DZ4J","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/21bREUBNUOL.jpg?v=1781271005","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/dark-was-the-night","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
