Muito neh. Até então aos 15 anos tinha ouvido uma música ou outra da Janis Joplin ou do Robert Johnson inclusive. Mas parar pra ouvir mesmo, foi Blind Willie Johnson. Hoje em dia gosto do John Lee Hooker, do Skip James, Elizabeth Cotten e mais uma pa. Gosto de relacionar esses artistas com outros como Almir Sater, Nelson Cavaquinho, Helena Meirelles, Ibrahim Ferrer, Markos Vamvakaris, Bombino e a lista vai

q isso mlk deu aula, meu primeiro contato com o blues foi por intermedio do eric clapton. foda ne mas é isso ai. ai dele veio robert johnson, albert king, howlin wolf, etc.... eu ja ouvia stones mas n sabia mt de onde eram as raizes do blues e acabei pesquisando bem na epoca q comecei a pesquisar as influencias do clapton. eu gosto de ouvir jazz tb, e to tentando explorar mais esses generos(blues, jazz e soul) e to tentando ouvir um sambinha. logo vou pro reggae e pro afrobeat, é bom ver como foi espalhada cultura pelo mundo com aqueles acontecimentos nefastos

Incredible, he was such an amazing artist. At first, I was just curious to hear how the 20's blues would sound. And what an experience.

I haven't been moved like this by Music for a long time. Really beautiful raw emotion. I really like his songs featuring his wife. Take your stand is just excellent. To the user saying he can;t hear any similarities between BWJ and Tom Waits' voice.. probably need to get your ears checked mate. By the way there's a kickstarter campaign to record covers of BWJ songs and Tom Waits is doing a few tracks (soul of a man and john the revelator): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blindwilliejohnson/help-produce-the-songs-of-blind-willie-johnson/description

@A1000Mistakes: The Spiritual Four Quartet of Thamstown, Georgia also do a stellar rendition of "John the Revelator." I never tire of Blind Willie Johnson's version, though.

@MathianSim: delta blues is a specific style of blues. It doesn't matter where you are from if you play it.
