The Complete Blind Willie Johnson is a compilation album by American gospel blues singer-guitarist Blind Willie Johnson, and was released on Columbia Records, on April 27, 1993. The album is a collection of all of Johnson's released works, 30 songs in total, which were recorded between 1927 and 1930 at a variety of different Columbia studios.
All of the tracks on The Complete Willie Johnson were previously reissued on other compilations, such as Praise God, I'm Satisfied; however, this album marks the first time all of Johnson's recordings were compiled on one set. The tracks on the album originate from five recording dates between December 3, 1927 and April 20, 1930. Johnson, who provided lead vocals and guitar accompiment, was sometimes backed by female vocalists, most commonly his first alleged wife Willis B. Harris. Blues historian Samuel Charters provided the information in album's liner booklet, correcting some bigrophahical errors he made from his first project featuring Johnson's recordings, titled Blind Willie Johnson 1927 - 1930.
