Sinéad O'Connor for proposed Blind Willie Johnson tribute
Sinéad O’Connor is one of the high-profile artists ready to leap into studio action if a proposed Blind Willie Johnson tribute album raises the required $125,000 Kickstarter funds by November 16.
It’s the brainchild of Gotta Serve Somebody: The Gospel Songs Of Bob Dylan producer Jeffrey Gaskill who also has Tom Waits, Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi, Ricki Lee Jones, Blind Boys Of Alabama, Cowboy Junkies and Lucinda Williams on recording stand-by.
If you want in on the act, visit [link]kickstarter.com/projects/blindwilliejohnson/help-produce-the-songs-of-blind-willie-johnson[/link]. It’d be poor form of Led Zep not to participate too, given how massive an influence the gravel-throated, thumb-picking Blind Willie was on ‘em.
