Blind Willie McTell is one of those musical prodigies of music history. I had the record from back when Suzy Q Records was still a record store, and I never listened to it. The recordings are eerily bad; you can even hear traffic in the background at times. But one day I finally listened to it properly, worked my way through the interference, and then I couldn't stop listening to it. What magical songs, what complex songwriting... and even if it's overused, what punk lyrics. I covered “Dying Crapshooters Blues” on the “Desperation” LP. A tribute to a magician.
