It's nobody's fault but mine if you don't enjoy Beth Rowley's cover of It's Nobody's Fault But Mine.
Blind Willie Johnson originally recorded the song in December 1927 and released it in April 1928. Such is it's resonance that, in the last century, there have been over 100 cover versions by artists including NIna Simone, Willie Nelson, The Staple Singers, Lucinda Williams, Tom Jones, Nina Hagen and Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
These guys were so impressed that they had to haul their band and gear halfway up a mountain to do it justice.
And here's where it all started.
Beth Rowley is Bristol-based and has an incredible voice, but not one that I've experienced either in depth via her albums or in a live setting. Sixth album, Pale Jewel Vol. II, came out in 2024 and Beth's about to hit the road again for an 11-date UK tour, kicking off in Nottingham on Friday.
