I'm no expert on recordings but Willie is a favorite of mine. I particularly enjoy one recording called, "Atlanta Twelve String", on Atlantic Records. The sweet thing about this recording is that it reveals the dual nature of his style and approach to playing. One side could be categorized as Gospel music, while the other side could easily be considered the Devil's music. There are excellent songs on each side that I have incorporated into my song bag, "Pearly Gates", "Motherless Children", "Ain't It Grand", "Last Dime4 Blues", "Blues Around Midnight", "Broke Down Engine", and a few that I'm still workin' on.
