[LittleBlackSparrow]

Like this if you looked up This amazing musician after listening to Bob Dylans Song "Blind Willie McTell"

[jbsgx24]

@LittleBlackSparrow Oh, for sure. You're a little late to the party... But, welcome!

[VitreousCut]

[joebloggzmusic]

When I was goin through some bad times all I did was listen to Blind Willie McTell.. it took me through a whole bunch of rough patches, and when I listen to it now it never fails to bring me peace. God rest his soul.

[busessuck1]

@daydreamer96 you get bands stealing this guys songs and song names and getting indie acclaim for it

[pusnuts81]

This music brings tears to my eyes.

[migitmatador]

shit my friend. absolute shite. won't ever be stuff like this anymore!.. oh well bring on the apocalypse mutha fuckah's

[TouffeDePoile]

That's real music guy

[chadd990]

where did you find a digital copy of this?

[ramsay97]

@chadd990 might have mp3d it from a record

[ramsay97]

@chadd990 it sounds a bit crackly, i think he might have recorded it from a vinyl

sorry if you cant find it

and sorry to ragtimedorianhenry if im wrong :s

[jbsgx24]

@ramsay97 i think the crackliness you're hearing is due to the recording technology available in 1933... When I listen to Willie Mctell and Robert Johnson... It kinda cracks me up how the recording sounds so bad, but the music still sounds so soulful, powerful. The early to mid 30's down in the Delta produced sooooo much good music. Even Seattle in the early 90's pales in comparison

[porkinwitz]

@jbsgx24 This wasn't recorder in the Delta, but in a hotel room in downtown Atlanta with a portable recorder by Alan Lomax............Not that I'm trying to split hairs or anything. But yeah, it's "sooooo" good.

[RussianThickness1]

check out the white stripes version, its almost as good

[boxingin]

@daydreamer96 We're living in a society were lyrics and musicianship don't count for much anymore. As long as you have an attitude or a nice ""Booty" you're in... :(

[BloodyCatastrophee]

@boxingin =(

[boxingin]

@BloodyCatastrophee I know....... :(

[kevbluntz]

this is that real stuff right here

[iluvjackwhitemost]

What a remarkable man McTell was.Playing guitar blind and inspiring generations of blues players is quite a feat.

[teknogames]

@daydreamer96 GAGA OOH LALA GAGA OOH LALA

[TheBrowndawg]

[BloodyCatastrophee]

@TheBrowndawg haha!

[lookatdoor]

@daydreamer96 How many musicians do you know from 1933?

[ambersontheduck]

I wish this was my theme song and it played wherever I went.

[knotmaggot]

Thanks to Jack White and Meg White for bringing back these songs in their covers. Not many bands choose to go back to the roots and start everything from the zero.

[Deathril1]

@knotmaggot fuck yea represent

[queenofthedelta]

No one knows who this is? Are you freal? :(

[ramones1343]
