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.
