Album Notes

This CD is Authentic,Retro,Old Time Street Corner Guitar Evangelist Music as if it was made in 1920's during the time of Blind Willie Johnson or Blind Lemon Jefferson. KM Williams recorded even in the SAME WAY as his Texas predessors(One Mike straight into the Recording Console;Stella Guitar with no overdubbs;even scratchy and airy sounding like the paramount recording of the 20's),but what the Reverend KM Williams has achieved is THE SAME,RAW,GUTBUCKET sound that you hear on these classic recordings along with the INTENSE SPIRITUAL feel of the old Masters.He plays SINGING Slide guitar along thumped bass lines and gutbucket rhythms simultaneously;very similar to Blind Willie's or Fred McDowell's style ,but with a flair all of his own.RESURRECTION OF OLD TIME SPIRITUALS INDEED! KM Williams hopes to bring back to the limelight the great musical styles of Blind Willie Johnson , Mississippi Fred McDowell, Rev. Gary Davis and Rev. Pearly Brown;especially to draw attention to the music of Blind Willie Johnson.If you can feel it;buy it and also seek out these Orginal Masters of Gospel/Blues music!

REVIEWS

Fantastic!
author: Si
This a great album of old time songs. A few of these appear on other KM Williams and Trainreck albums in different styles. The tracks chosen are perfect. My fave is KM's version of Lamp Trimmed and Burning which is the best version I have heard of an often copied song.

Old School blues
author: BC
WOW! I didn't know what to expect with this album. I bought it on a whim. And I am glad I did. Put it into rotation with my Charlie Patton, skip James and Lighting Hopkins. I love the feel ofthis ablum. Simple, understated just a man his guitar and his voice. Brings back that old time feel.

Neat,Affecting Versions of Many Spiritual Standards
author: Blues Bunny
You can't get more straightforward than this 14 track release from K.M Williams. One man and his Stella guitar singing like many delta bluesmen have done in the past. Recorded live, warts and all, this album contains neat, affecting versions of many spiritual standards. K.M. Williams does not have a spectacular voice but there is no doubting the honesty of the performances. Of particular note is "Lamp Trimmed and Burning" featuring vocal assistance from Diana Williams, "God's Got It" and the closing track "Live So God Can Use Me with just his voice and a harmonica. Even though this was recorded in 2006, this is a throwback to simpler times and the perfect antidote to the processed music that is normally fed to us these days. Perhaps not as special as the Country Roads, Street Corners & Church Houses album but a worthy effort nonetheless.
