about
In 1930, Blind Willie Johnson wove biblical imagery and introspection into a blues that probes the depths of human nature. The lyrics ponder the differences between material wealth, physical strength, and the ethereal essence of one's soul. If a soul “ain’t nothing but a burning light,” as the song suggests, then perhaps we best enjoy some warmth before the room goes dark.
lyrics
I'm going to ask the question, please answer if you can
Is anybody here that can tell me, what about the soul of a man?
I've traveled in different countries, I've traveled foreign lands
Haven’t met anybody that could tell me, tell me what about the soul of a man
A crowd of people stand talking, I walked up right on time
Was preaching the lawyers and the doctors, said a man ain't nothing but his mind
I read the good books often, I tries to read em right
As far as I could understand, nothing but a burning light.
Won't somebody tell me, tell me if you can!
Won’t somebody tell me, tell me what is the soul of a man?

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
Edit 7th March - received the gorgeous vinyl today. Great album. ! Another release from Aoife. First track is great and features her signature sounds. The vinyl is mine. 😀💖 jwilliamperks
