Blind Willie Johnson was born in 1897 near Brenham, Texas (before the discovery of his death certificate, Temple, Texas had been suggested as his birthplace). When he was five, he told his father he wanted to be a preacher, and then made himself a cigar box guitar. His mother died when he was young and his father remarried soon after her death.[1] It is thought that Johnson was married twice, first to a woman with the same first name, Willie B Harris, and later to a young singer named Angeline, who was the sister of blues guitarist LC Robinson. No marriage certificates have yet been discovered. As Angeline Johnson often sang and performed with him, the first person to attempt to research his biography, Samuel Charters, made the mistake of assuming it was Angeline who had sung on several of Johnson's records. However, later research showed that it was Johnson's first wife. Johnson was not born blind, and, although it is not known how he lost his sight, Angeline Johnson provided this account to Samuel Charters: She said when Willie was seven his father beat his stepmother after catching her going out with another man. The stepmother then picked up a handful of lye and threw it, not at Willie's father, but into the face of young Willie.. + Informações

"Blind" Willie Johnson (1897-1945) was an African-American singer and guitarist whose music straddled the border between blues and spirituals. While the lyrics of all of his songs were religious, his music drew from both sacred and blues traditions. Among musicians, he is considered one of the greatest slide or bottleneck guitarists, as well as one of the most revered figures of depression-era gospel music. His music is distinguished by his powerful bass thumb-picking and gravelly false-bass voice, with occasional use of a tenor voice.. + Informações

the soul of a man -Won't somebody tell me, answer if you can! Want somebody tell me, what is the soul of a man I'm going to ask the question, answer if you can If anybody here can tell me, what is the soul of a man? I've traveled in different countries, I've traveled foreign lands I've found nobody to tell me, what is the soul of a man I saw a crowd stand talking, I came up right on time Were hearing the doctor and the lawyer, say a man ain't nothing but his mind I read the bible often, I tries to read it right As far as I can understand, a man is more than his mind When Christ stood in the temple, the people stood amazed Was showing the doctors and the lawyers, how to raise a body from the grave-. + Informações

RECORDED: December 5, 1928 in Dallas, Tx Lyrics: Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes My mother often told me, angels bonded your life away She said I would accomplish, but trust in God and pray I'm on the King's Highway, I'm travelin' everyday 'Cause I just can't keep from crying sometimes Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes My mother, she's in glory, thank God I'm on my way Father, he's gone too, and sister she could not stay I'm trusting Him everyday, to bear my burdens away 'Cause I just can't keep from crying sometimes Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes I thought when she first left me, I'd pray for a little while Soon it all would be over, and I'd journey on with a smile But the thought as I get older, I think of what I told her And I just can't keep from crying sometimes Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes Well, well. + Informações

The Titanic sunk April 15, 1912. BWJ recorded his original version in 1929. It is always interesting trying to hear and understand the lyrics from copies of the old 78 rpm records. Who is AG Smith, a mighty man, built a boat he couldn't undertsand? Is BWJ really referring to the Captain EJ Smith? Please offer your imput to the lyrics. Thank you for sharing. Oh God, Oh Lord, Oh God In the of Year nineteen hundred and twelve, April the fourteenth day Great Titanic struck an iceberg, people had to run and pray God moves on, God moves, God moves, the people had to run and pray The guards who stood watching, fell asleep cause they were tired When they heard the great excitement, a gunshot was fired God moves, moves, God moves, the people had to run and pray Captain Smith gave the orders, women and children first Many lifeboats piled up, many were liable to crush God moves on, God moves, God moves, the people had to run and pray Many people left their happy homes, and everything that they possess Lord Jesus, will you hear us now, help us in our distress God moves, God moves, God moves, had to run and pray Women had to leave their loving ones, see about their safety first When they heard the liner was doomed, hearts did almost burst God moves, God moves, God moves, the people had to run and pray AG Smith was a mighty man, built a boat that he couldn't understand Named it a name of a tin in a can, God just pulled it in God moves, God moves, God moves, the people had to run and pray. + Informações

Blind Willie Johnson masterpiece. Absolutely one of my favourite Willie Johnson songs. If you listen to the original is incredible!! The singing is fantastic is full of soul but great power and rhythm. When he sings:but trust in god and pray you can hear the movement in his voice the great rhytmic quality is unreal!! Also when he sings :when my heart is full of Sorrow, listen the way he sings Sorrow, is something hard to define is really a blues notes he hit there is magic!!! Then of course here there's the magic of the woman beautiful singing that just fit perfectly and contrast with his powerful voice.The tick tock rhythm on the bass strings and magnificent slide work on the treble do the rest. This my version just comes by itself. I mean that for the first time I dont have listen note for note the song to arrange it.But having the melody in mind after endless listening to the song ,that's what I've find to fit the vocals.
