Blind Willie Johnson

Blind Willie Johnson
Pendleton, Texas, United States
Gospel, gospel blues

Blind Willie Johnson (January 25, 1897 – September 18, 1945) was an American gospel blues singer and guitarist and evangelist. His landmark recordings completed between 1927 and 1930—thirty songs in total—display a combination of powerful "chest voice" singing, slide guitar skills, and originality that has influenced later generations of musicians. Even though Johnson's records sold well, as a street performer and preacher he had little wealth in his lifetime. His life was poorly documented, but over time music historians such as Samuel Charters have uncovered more about Johnson and his five recording sessions.

The Crimson ProjeKCt

The Crimson ProjeKCt
UK
Progressive rock, experimental, jazz

The ProjeKCts are a succession of spin-off projects associated with the band King Crimson.
The ProjeKCts were most active from 1997 to 1999, but have performed intermittently since. These earlier ProjeKCts, up to ProjeKCt Six in 2006, were devoted to instrumental and heavily improvised music. All of them included King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp, who described their purpose as being "research and development" for King Crimson. Two later spin-off projects were of a different nature, but both involving former King Crimson members.
