Rev. A.W. Nix

US
Folk, World and Blues

Reverend A. W. Nix (1876 – 1943) was an American preacher who recorded 54 sermons and gospel songs in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Although much of Nix's personal life is obscured, he is best remembered for his commercially successful sermon, "The Black Diamond Express to Hell". After his disappearance from the public view in 1940, Nix's recordings were reintroduced when he was credited as a major influence on Thomas A. Dorsey, the "father of gospel music". Accordingly, nearly all of his sermons have been reissued on compilation albums.
