Blind Willie Johnson is a force of nature! You've inspired me to put on The Complete Blind Willie Johnson (2d CDs, Sony/Columbia Legacy). I was stunned the first time I heard him, and I continue to be amazed and awed every time.I can't help you on the Reggae side. I enjoy it, but it's never really grabbed me by the throat, and I'm stuck at the "greatest hits" level ("The Harder They Come", Bob Marley and the like).
