Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson Part II - Musical Performance on Blues Radio International

Part II - Blues Music Performance - In this part 2 of 2 Luther treats us to some deep blues including his original tune, "Hard Times."Blues Music legend, Luther Guitar Junior Johnson (1939-2022) in a special in-home musical interview. You will hear some blues music, some jokes & lots of jovial laughter (which were always in abundance when Luther was in the house.) In January 2020, we were blessed to spend some time with Luther, who was always a gracious & honored guest at the home of BRI's Audrey Michelle & Michael Wolf.  Luther Johnson, who hails from Itta Bena Mississippi (also the birthplace of B.B. King.) A West Side Chicago guitarist,  had a storied career, including a stint with The Muddy Waters Band. He had 21 albums, appeared in countless music videos, made hundreds of recordings & appeared with John Lee Hooker, Big Walter Horton, Pinetop Perkins, Calvin Jones & Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith in the original 1980 Blues Brothers Movie.His passing on Christmas Day 2022 was a deep loss for us & the blues community. His life & legacy are treasures & his presence on this Earth was a gift to all. He leaves behind his memory & music which will be cherished forever. We give our love & sincere thanks to the late Michael Shivvers of The Blues Roots Digital Archive, our dear friend, & fellow blues music documentarian who passed suddenly in 2020. Mike & Luther traveled The United States together by car with their gear in tow from gig to gig promoting, 'Won’t Be Back No More,’ Luthers new acoustic album. Luther & Michael had recorded this final album together, at Luther’s home in Wildwood, Florida.  They both stayed with Audrey & Michael on this trip & it was an honor to host these two incredible, talented humans.  @MichaelShivvers_BluesArchive You may notice that Luther is playing an electric custom guitar by Delaney Guitars.  This guitar was originally designed for & owned by, blues man, Mike Zito. It is an honor to have Luther play & to have signed this one of a kind instrument made by Mr. Michael Delaney in Texas, USA.  @ValDelaneyGuitars  @MikeZitoOfficial Your Host: Jesse FinkelsteinAudio mix-down & video production by Audrey Michelle for BRIVideography & audio recording by Audrey Michelle & Michael Wolf  @audreymichelle6436 &  @datflys  #LutherGuitarJuniorJohnson #LutherGuitarJrJohnson #bluesradiointernational  #datflysconcertvideos #datflys #GuitarJr #GuitarJunior #bluesradiointernational #bluesmusic #chicagoblues #blues #delaneyguitars #bluesbrothers #mikezito #audreymichelle #jessefinkelsteinFind more at BluesRadioInternational.net
