Wow Alice at O My Soul does it again and if you listen to one thing today (apart from her cover of Neil Young’s After The Goldrush) then listen to this! We checked out Julia before (see link) so we like her!

Love it . . . . . pop over to Alice at O My Soul and tell her . . . . sometimes she sounds quite sad . . . . . . and we all need a pozzie word every now and again . . . . . don’t we?

DARK WAS THE NIGHT, COLD WAS THE GROUND : BLIND WILLIE JOHNSON | Alice at O MY SOUL

O My Soul

In 2003, John Clarke in The Times wrote that “Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground” was “the most intense and startling blues record ever made”. Francis Davis, author of The History of the Blues concurs, writing “In terms of its intensity alone—its spiritual ache—there is nothing else from the period to compare to Johnson’s ‘Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground’, on which his guitar takes the part of a preacher and his wordless voice the part of a rapt congregation.”

Interestingly Alice over at reads 1981 (O MY Soul) pulls an interesting one here and turns Blues historian with this Blind Willie Johnson track . . . . . . . worth paying attention to but not content with making her own really interesting music and sharing ‘new' sounds and singers here she shows us the breadth of her interest in this blues classic! 

O My Soul does it again . . . . | JULIA JACKLIN : I WAS NEON

O My Soul

I was steady, I was soft to the touch
Cut wide open, did I let in too much?
I swear I could feel it, swear I could feel it

Am I gonna lose myself again?
Am I gonna lose myself again?
I quite like the person that I am
Am I gonna lose myself again? 

I know right but its prolly ‘cos I am a sad grumpy ole man but how does this lass keep finding songs I like listening to!?

Didn’t know Julia? Did I?

 . . . . . .don’t think so . . . . .this is great . . . . . self expression . . . . . . . emo . . .

I don’t know I just like it!
