Leading her to become an internationaly recognized five time Blues Music Award winning guitar player, who has released more than two-dozen or so blues albums.

The gospel "call and response" song "John the Revelator" was first committed to 78rpm shellac by Blind Willie Johnson and his wife Willie B Harris in 1930, although it's likely to be much older than that in both melody and basic concept. It references the writing f the Book of seven Seals (i.e. Revelations) by John of Patmos, known in the King James Version as St John the Divine. It has been re...

Artist:

One of my fave Son House songs. . . . . gawd DAMN I had no idea video of these blues legends existed on the 'net!. also, I know now I need a resonator guitar ASAP (like the National dobro he's playing) so that I can keep my main acoustic in D and use a resonator in the open tunings for slide work. . .
