"Take Your Stand" is a gospel blues song recorded in 1929 by Blind Willie Johnson (vocals and guitar) and Willie B. Harris (vocals), who is thought to have been his first wife.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blind Willie Johnson discography )〕 Johnson sings throughout in his "growl" (false bass) voice. The composer is unknown; the song may be traditional. Johnson's version was released as the B-side of his final single, later than several songs recorded in April 1930.〔 It therefore seems likely that it was released in 1930. The song consists of several verses with slightly varied words. The singer exhorts the listener to: take a stand, pray for me, shake my hand, tell the truth, keep the faith, preach the Word, and run the race; and promises to meet him or her on the Kingdom's shore. In context, the Word is the Word of God as revealed in the Bible, and the Kingdom is the Kingdom of God. == Recordings == * 1929Blind Willie Johnson * 2002Glenn Kaiser, on the album ''Ripley County Blues'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Take Your Stand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
