I can't even imagine how many men and women Blind Willie Johnson inspired in music. I bet people draw from his music and don't even realize it...

This tune was in the ending in the film "The Ladykillers", as background music with the closing credits. Tom Hanks was great!

adoro essa musica...thanks for brasil

Where's his master piece? where is Blind Willie's "Lord I Just Can't Keep From Crying". I keep seeing a buzz idea recently "non-believers do the best religious music". This guy proves that theory wrong!

I can't believe it took the new version of The Ladykillers film to get me to hear this magnificent music! :D

@BeebopConnard  poor you.

@BeebopConnard It's not about the message.. it's more about how the message is conveyed when it comes to blues.. that's why I love it.. Blues has soul and emotion put into it and it is incomparable to music today..

This is amazing. Just a guitar, a voice and three simple chords, G, C, and D and one POWERFUL message.
