New release "For Blind Willie" mini EP today! Here's my thoughts on these two songs:
This release is my way of celebrating the memory of one of the most important figures in early blues and gospel - the great Blind Willie Johnson - who would have turned 125 this year. The recording of his masterpiece "Dark was the night, cold was the ground" (recorded in my favorite recording year, 1927) can be found on the golden records onboard Voyager I and II and was added to the National Recording Registry in 2010, which selects recordings annually that are deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Although his music is often very hopeful, when you look back at his life, hope is not the first word that comes to mind. Willie wasnât blind at birth but became blind at seven years old. Exactly how it happened is uncertain, but one statement is that his aunt accidentally threw lye in his eyes. In his older years a fire took his house, but him being poor and blind and black he wasn't left with much else of a choice than to stay and live in the ruins of his old home. Living in this environment gave him pneumonia which subsequently led to his death. But his beautiful music just might live forever - forever floating in space.
With that said I really hope you will enjoy this new little release of mine. Do you have any favorite Blind Willie Johnson recordings?

âOne of the great storytellers of this generation.â - Jason Scott, B-sides and badlands, US
âA blues genius descending from the Northâ - Journal du Sud fribourgeois La GruyĂšre, FR
âJansson could be the evil twin of Johnny Cash.â - N-Joy, Norddeutscher Rundfunk, DE
âLe True Detective du blues.â - Les Inrockuptibles, FR
"... The singer stands out and offers a quasi deviant style, inspired by both Tom Waits, Nick Cave and US icons. [...] He actually takes us into a strange tempest, an elsewhere that promises great surprises and especially an immense change of scenery. One-man-band, Bror Gunnar Jansson knows his limits and ignores them. Always in search of a form of transcendence, he invented his own Mississippi, his own poetry. It is this transcendence that makes the greatest force of this bluesman of another century. Constantly inspired by the throbbing rhythms of Afro-American music, it also draws on new seas and creates unlikely encounters. ..." -Rolling Stone Magazine (FR)
