  • Το "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground" είναι ένα gospel blues τραγούδι, το οποίο γράφτηκε και ερμηνεύθηκε από τον Blind Willie Johnson και ηχογραφήθηκε το 1927. Το κομμάτι κατά βάσει είναι ορχηστρικό, καθώς διαθέτει μόνο slide κιθάρα, την οποία παίζει ο ίδιος ο Τζονσόν, ο οποίος ήταν αυτοδίδακτος. Χαρακτηριστικό επίσης του κομματιού είναι ότι σε όλη τη διάρκεια του, ο Τζονσόν, αντί να τραγουδά μουρμουρίζει και στενάζει. (el)

  • Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground est une chanson de gospel blues écrite et interprétée par le musicien américain Blind Willie Johnson, enregistrée en 1927. La chanson est principalement instrumentale, mettant en vedette la guitare slide et le style de picking autodidacte de Willie Johnson accompagnés de ses vocalisations typiques du blues. Cette chanson, dont le titre signifie en français « Sombre était la nuit, froid était le sol », fait référence à un chant religieux évoquant la solitude et le désespoir humain, comme celui présent après la crucifixion du christ à la descente de la croix et le dépôt du corps sur le sol (pour rappel le gospel-blues et le blues tirent beaucoup leur inspiration de la religion).
