SUN STUDIO SESSIONS - "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground" Justin Johnson 

I pray the Lord opens the skies for Blind Willie to hear how his music is being handled with such reverence by this master musician.

That song (along with many others including Chuck Berry) is on a disc, on the side of Voyager 1, currently over 13.5 billion miles (22 light hours away).

Sitting on the porch after a hard day at work, cold drink in hand listening to Justin. Amazing.

This needs to be in a Clint Eastwood western. Three thumbs up! 👍👍👍

That's what my mind sounded like trying to decide what to have for dinner. Thanks Justin I think I'm going for the ribeye

Knowing that this song is forever immortalised far into deep space proving we existed brings tears to my eyes and to whoever finds it will know we have a soul

rockstar should’ve made you the musician for red dead redemption 2 lol 🤙🏼

He knows how to use the space between notes. SOOO much more emotional than all the finger-jockey, 1000-notes-per-second shredders out there.

Doing Blind Willie justice by way of Ry Cooder, Mr. Johnson. Those glissandos paint vivid landscapes. Excellent as always!

The song actually sounds like the title.

I believe that things happen for a reason. I just finished talking to my mama who I've been taking care of for the last 6 yrs. She ask me not to be mad but she wants me to let her go. I then get this notification from you. It's true when you don't have the words you have music. Thank you. 🌼

You are legend. This is some Quentin Tarantino-type film music.

To walk the long road, with the Stars to guide me. Where we end up no one knows. Friends we meet a long the way makes the journey worthwhile.

That was definitely "dark" and "cold" with some loneliness and pondering sprinkled on top.

they shouldve put that on voyager too.

Wasn't this the song added to the golden disk on a voyager we just sent faraway?

Shades of Stevie Ray, this guy is outstanding! Justin is as good as it gets, just love listening to him while sipping my Shiner!

Fantastico

Like painters work, or a novelists writings, your music has your signature all over it.

amazing justin , nice old school , posey evry little part of silence is music , has his place in this great moment without fioritures , enjoy bro see you next time in nice session , pleasure

Thanks Justin. It's great how you are able to wring out the emotion in your audience through your signature playing style.

In the mornings, I listen to the news. At the nights, I listen to the delta blues.

Soo mellow

Manso, mágico y bello sonido. Gracias.

Sounds like walking the so. cal. train track in 1965,which I did as a small child.All my family aged and passed and now there seems to be no slide guitars out here. Makes me cry and remember why crying is healthy. Thx. So beautiful.

Thaught that lyrics was from Tom Waits in the (beautiful) song "Georgia Lee" (and after searching it's Cold / Hard)...

Absolutely beautiful version of this classic of classics.

Wow! Love it! It's slow even if you watch On 1.75 speed! But very beautiful!

I’m glad y’all visited Memphis. Did you get to sample the world’s best barbecue?

⭐️⭐️When can we get Smoke & Mirrors on VINYL??!! ⭐️⭐️

This guy can have an episode on cowboy bebop a lone blues guitar player out there in space completing the vasts voids of spaces in desolate space station.

Can't get enough of Justin Johnson, want to hear his guitars everywhere I go; warning, listening to him playing is highly addictive!

I really wanna know your effects chain, cause your tone is haunting.

This is one of my favorites, too! I first discovered it on the 'Paris, Texas' soundtrack by Ry Cooder.

Keep in mind Blind Willie did this without the benefit of an e-bow.

Excellent! I could listen to music like this all day long. Thanks for sharing!

I've been working been working on aiming with left eye

Wonderful i love this

Reminds me of the movie southern comfort 👍👍

Can you help me to record my guitar on a pc?

КрасаВа🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Never fails to amaze!

I love this shit

Thanks Justin.

I Wonder??? If You SHORTEN THIS up alittle, then USED it as an INTRO & CONCLUSION, to what You played when You unboxed the 1st "Shovel" guitar???? So like,,, USE the 1st 1/2 of THIS, INTRO'ing into (what was it???) "Crackin' Up"!!! Then Concluded OUT of "Crackin' Up" with the 2nd 1/2 of THIS!!! It would be like "Telling A Story"!!!! IF Possible???? Only IF Ya Wanna!!! If Your goin that Way!!! The WORD is,,, Stallone wants to make another RAMBO! How WOULD,,, "It's A Long Road",,, SOUND,,, in Your Style???? Masked enough,,, that it would be a "Slow Burn" until people WOULD Recognize it!!!!???? SORRY!!! Ya Get Me athinkin!!!!

Hauntingly beautiful and the most mournful blues tune in history. Maybe my favorite.

Killer

This could be in RDR2, like in the braithwaite manor raid

This is my sound on my shitty of days walking the streets in the hot ass sun with a blunt in my mouth trying to make a dollar. Good shit man thanks for this great music.

Thanks for sharing this deepest emotion where the sound of the instrument ,your face and gesture captured in harmonious motion is pure beauty and mystery

It's always a pleasure to watch and listen to you play. Thanks, Justin!

The reverb really adds to the atmosphere. It sounds great on a resophonic guitar too.

oh yeah that's got Ryland Cooder written all over it and that's a damn good thing🍻🎶🎸

Real nice Justin.. keep them rolling out bro..

I remember hearing this tune 2 decades ago on Dave Holes album!
