The Darkest Blues You'll Ever Hear

There are no words needed to be said on this song. The moans and strings says it all. Bluesman Blind Willie Johnson nailed it on Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground. Its sound can silence a barking dog or a howling wolf. As soon as you hear Johnsons first moan you know why this song was the favorite of alot of blues singers. Ry Cooder said that it was the greatest blues song ever written. It defined what blues was and how it should feel, cold, dark, lonesome, sadness, pain.
