Thread Name: Your Favorite Gospel Blues?
Subject: RE: Your Favorite Gospel Blues?
From Atlantic records, now available on cd, a Blind Willie McTell recording called, "Atlanta Twelve String", has some of my favorite gospel songs, like, "I Got To Cross The River Jordan", "Ain't It Grand to Live a Christian", "Pearly Gates", "You Got To Die". Sung and played by Willie alone, they comprise half of a very unique recording. The rest of what's there might be best described as "devil's music", featuring songs like, "The Dyin' Crapshooter's Blues", "Kill It Kid", "Motherless Children", "Broke Down Engine". This is one of favorite recordings.
