By far my favorite video on You Tube. At least 100 of these views are mine. Just blown away. Perfect delta blues voice--slide guitar--Blind Willie...the perfect trifecta. Thanks for sharing, Martin!

The Power of Jesus doesn’t die down between artists, in his song :)

Closest to blind Willie I've heard😀

Wooh! Thanks!

I really admire your skill and these video's really help me to practice these amazingly groovy and complex songs. You make it look so easy and I understand it is because of your years of dedication to the music. I regularly play songs from your album in my DJ sets in our local music venue (VERA Groningen), and I really hope you can come play there some day!

Your voice sounds so like the original it’s amazing, great depth!

This is so powerful, this song has been on my mind lately and you nailed it. Literally. Praise God with the blues.

You got a powerful voice my friend. Would love to hear this song again after another 7 years of playing

Awesome 🤘 Great to see a version faithful to the original!

Fantastic ❤

Thank you for this. It breathes new life into the works of a great artist. I hope others, like myself, find your covers of Blind Willie Johnson and then seek out the work of an under-appreciated man. Fyi, your covers are right with the originals in my work playlists. Again. Thank you.

You got the special sauce.

When I listen to it, I'm happier than old Blue layin' on the porch and chewin' on a big' ol catfish head!

That was soul-stirring my friend. Thank you for posting.

Man you absolutely nailed it! Wonderful job with getting both the guitar and vocal part down perfectly!

You play and sing really well

WONDERFUL, love that.

Great job ! Great voice too!

Great inspiration and perfect for learing the song! Thanks a lot!

Excellent

Keep coming back to this video Martin.....Thank you so much....Stay well, and Cheers.....

Lewis Kerr Thank you sir! I LOVE Blind Willie Johnson. He was so unique! He was almost always tuned in Open D.

Martin Swamps Cheers! I'll get working. I've been learning a few Fred mcdowell tunes in open e (the lives ones where you can see his hands clearly). I Struggle to get he BWJ tunes sounding right in D but i must be too quick to try something different!

McDowell was another great guitarist.His playing was more rythmic, like Son House you know? He sang over really cool rythmic patterns. BWJ actually made his guitar sing! He sang what he played (or played what he sang!) With a lot of "ghost notes" and subtlety. He was the master! Keep on working man! Keep the blues alive! Cheers!

Please do a how to vid? nobody has one for blind willies version!!!

Yeah, people are scared of this one haha!

Just a passerby came to say very impressive, only thing missing is the poket knife Willie used instead of a slide. Next time let's hear ur version.

Some say he played with a pocket knife, no one is sure about that. The most important thing to get his feel: a Wooden Guitar! Thanks anyway!

How do you know the devil tuned his guitar? He doesn’t clip the excess

Beautiful voice
