Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson was a blues guitarist with an impressive résumé, backing Muddy Waters, Magic Sam, and John Lee Hooker before he found fame on his own, earning a following for his soulful vocal style and incisive guitar work. A solid performer in the Chicago style, Johnson found his greatest success while working out of New England, with 1990's I Want to Groove with You and 1992's It's Good to Me capturing his impassioned attack and wiry soloing. Latter-day efforts like 2001's Talkin' About Soul showed he'd lost none of his swagger with the passage of time, and 2020's Won't Be Back No More was an intimate acoustic set that captured the guitarist at his most personal.
