When listening to this album, I realised that Bob Dylan's quote on the front saying 'I know one thing, novody can sing them blues like Blind Willie McTell', was definately true. Willie's voice is a pure voice in my opinion.
Blind Willie was one of a great gathering of black musicians whose influence on later music was considerable,and whose genius came to light almost by accident.This collection is representative of the great age of blues singing,and challenges the assumption that later development is better-Blind Willies work stands as a complete art form,that deserves more than historic status.It is a classical music that should be heard more.These recordings help to establish the historical niche,but need to be heard more!
