More than deserves a listen -- this stuff is genius. Blind Willie might have prayed to the Lord, but I pray to Blind Willie...

Yes, fantastic.@dgwise you can download a free mp3 version from http://archive.org/ for now. It's in its original condition though.

This was one of the first "new" songs I discovered on TIMJ. Blind Willie visits some dark places (no pun intended) on this 'un.

@msSue_, thanx for that...@all of you...i seem to remember reading how his house in Texas burned down one night & getting no help he had to sleep on what was left of his burnt wet mattress, caught pneumonia & died...which puts me in mind of a sticker i saw on a car,"i'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one"

Spooky Barney! Our guest on the next show, blues fan & historian, Alan Balfour chooses his 'sublime moment' from this song. Great minds....
