Luthar “Snake Boy” Johnson – More Chicago Blues

Love it when I get surprised by another past blues music guitar great like I was this past week hearing “Woman Don’t Lie” from “Snake Boy” Johnson.

Born in Georgia, relocating to Chicago IL after the war, had direct experience with Muddy Waters and followed Elmore James closely. While his birth date is not entirely certain, many peg him as being born in the Fall of 1941 having passed on in 1976 from brain cancer…what a joy he left us with his self-taught guitar playing and soulful voice.

Give this a listen, oh ya – and that Gibson SG looks SO COOL in black and white
