Make Up My Dying Bed (Blind Willie Johnson) Gutbucket 2012
ink, acrylic, and sawdust on found wood
This cat was intense and aggressive with a sweet slide and the trademark gravelly growl of the street performer. The playing compliments the voice and the religious subject matter! Died by contracting malaria from sleeping on a swamp damp mattress in the burned down shell of his house/church in the hot Texas sun.
