nothing wrong with Blind Willie Johnson, but to call this version dreadful is proof that you're just a poser.

It was in a folk club in Sunderland about mid-sixties. You weren't booked as a guest, you'd just came in on spec and played a few tunes. Dallas Rag was one. You had two guitars with you, and played bottleneck after telling this story. I was most impressed, as I played a bit myself, and have always remembered that evening.

@bconti nothing Grossman does is "dreadful." He has done so much for people wanting to learn acoustic blues. Just curious...(I know you are responding to someone's post), what did he/she finddreadful about the video?

This was the only Open D bottleneck piece Stefan included on his epochal 'How To Play Blues Guitar' album.
Grossman makes the tune his own - and there is nothing wrong with that.

He said once that he uses a bottle neck instead of the more usual slide because the curve (it has to be a certain kind of bottle) allows that splashy sound by not exactly touching all the strings equally.
He also described how bottleneck originated -- a pianist was playing in a bar when a fight broke out. He carried on bravely until the piano got pushed over and started rolling around on the bottles that had been lined up on top. "You know what," he said, "that would sound good on the guitar..."
