Take Your Stand

"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. 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.
