He was also known as Luther "Snake" Johnson, Luther "Georgia Boy" Johnson and Luther King.[1]AllMusic journalist Ron Wynn stated, "Johnson's own inimitable vocals, raspy lines and tart guitar eventually create his own aura... a good, occasionally outstanding blues artist."[2] He is not to be confused with Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson, nor Luther "Houserocker" Johnson, from Atlanta, Georgia. Life and careerHe was born Lucious Brinson in Davisboro, Georgia.[1] He was raised on a farm and taught himself to play guitar.[3] After completing his service in the US Army,[3] Johnson played guitar with the Milwaukee Supreme Angels, a local gospel group in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. However, he gravitated towards blues and formed his own trio in Milwaukee. He relocated to Chicago, Illinois, in the early 1960s.[1][3] He backed Elmore James prior to his James's death in 1963, and joined Muddy Waters's backing band in 1966. Johnson worked with various musicians during this period, including Chicago Bob Nelson. He recorded his debut album, Come On Home, in 1969.[1][3] In 1970, Johnson moved to Boston, Massachusetts, and found work on the blues festival and college circuits for the next few years.[1] His album Born in Georgia was released by Black & Blue Records. It was followed by Chicken Shack (1974), Lonesome in My Bedroom (1975), and the final album issued in his lifetime, Get Down to the Nitty Gritty (1976).[3][12] Johnson died of brain cancer in Boston on March 18, 1976, aged 34.{{dubious|date=November 2018}}[1][4] He was interred at the Mount Hope Cemetery, in Mattapan, Massachusetts.[3] Discography
