Sweeter As the Years Go By
Johnson's guitar picking, not half the emotional tour de force of his slide work, prods most of the spirituals rounding out his recording legacy. Late-1920s slide supplications "You'll Need Somebody on Your Bond" and "Lord, I Just Can't Keep from Crying" make the best case for purchasing this disc.-- © Frank John Hadley 1993--From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
