The Best Blind Willie Johnson Guitar Solos

Blind Willie Johnson recorded only thirty sides between 1927 and 1930, yet his slide guitar and gravel-voiced gospel shaped blues for a century. His knife-slide playing on the most haunting of those records was chosen to represent humanity on the Voyager spacecraft.
