BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON

“Blind” Willie Johnson: (Marlin, Texas, 22 de janeiro de 1897 — Beaumont, Texas, 18 de setembro de 1945) foi um músico (vocalista e guitarrista) afro-americano cuja música ultrapassou a barreira do blues e da gospel, a despeito da grande maioria das letras que cantava serem religiosas. Se por um lado letras da maioria das suas músicas eram religiosas, a sua música tirou a tradição sagrada e provinha directamente do blues. Entre músicos ele é considerado um dos maiores artistas de guitarra slide que já viveram, como também um dos que mais foram venerados durante a época da depressão nos EUA. Wikipedia
