  • Keeping the legacy alive!
    author: Will Mark

    This CD keeps the legacy alive of Gospel Blues/Spiritual Country Blues. No one has ever matched the brilliance and intensity of the Original Blind Willie Johnson;however;that being said; KM Williams does a marvelous tribute without coming off as a mimic;retaining the original feel but also adding a modern new feel to the music; a MODERN CLASSIC!

  • a tribute dedication from one blues master to another
    author: Internet User

    Tributes too often sound like bands doing cover tunes, while showcasing themselves. K.M. Williams does more than that with "Blind Willie's Hymns" (his tribute dedication to Blind Willie Johnson). He brings the songs of Willie Johnson to life. The guitar virtuosity and the animated blues vocals are second to the heavy soul/feeling deeply rooted in these recordings. If you have a heart for the old rural blues and ever wonder what it would sound like played that way today, K.M. Williams will deliver! buy this disk it is sure to keep one of your changer trays warm.
