Blind Willie Johnson – Reborn And Remastered (24/96 vinyl rip)
2013 EU 180-gram Limited Edition pressing (Music Rough Guides RGNET1299LP)
Vinyl Condition – New
This LP is part of the "Rough Guide to Blues Legends:" series...I became very curious about this man after reading about his life in the December 2010 issue of Texas Monthly, so I began to search the internet for his music. I found some stuff here and there, but this is the first vinyl I've run across. I was in a record store for the first time in many years a few days ago and saw this LP and had to have it. I've included the Texas Monthly article in the info2 file...you need to read it (if you don't already know who he was) before listening to this album to fully appreciate what it is you're hearing...the music is untouched except for a light de-clicking (I cleaned between tracks but left all music intact)...
