Doin' the Sugar Too (1984) more music like this

by Luther "Guitar Jr" Johnson

A step in the right direction -- much better production, savvier song selection, including a few snappy originals, and the five-piece Roomful of Blues horn section in staunch support. The guitarist's Magic Rockers include keyboardist Ron Levy, who would go on to produce Johnson's Bullsye Blues output. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide

I Want to Groove with You (1990) more music like this

by Luther "Guitar Jr" Johnson

Now this is more like it. Johnson and his New England-based Magic Rockers sizzle the hide off the genre with tough West Side-styled grooves redolent of Johnson's Chicago upbringing but up-to-the-minute in their execution. With this set, Johnson fully came into his own as a recording artist. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide

Slammin' on the West Side (1996) more music like this

by Luther "Guitar Jr" Johnson

Lousy album title, great album. Johnson hasn't been based out of Chicago in years, but that sound remains at the heart of his approach -- even when he's recording in Louisiana with a funky New Orleans rhythm section (bassist George Porter, Jr. and drummer Herman Ernest). Jump blues in the form of Buddy Johnson's "A Pretty Girl (A Cadillac and Some ...

Country Sugar Papa (1994) more music like this

by Luther "Guitar Jr" Johnson

Johnson's third and final album for producer Ron Levy's Bullseye Blues diskery is every bit as spellbinding as the prior pair. Whether fronting his latest batch of Magic Rockers or going it alone, Johnson is totally convincing. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide

Live at the Rynborn (1999) more music like this

by Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson

Live at the Rynborn was recorded with Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson's regular New England working band, blowing the roof off the hotel he was living at in 1995. Released on a dime sized local label, it kicked enough noise to be picked for national release by M.C. Records in 1999. The new reissue still reflects the same crude editing between songs in ...

Luther's Blues [Evidence] (1976) more music like this

by Luther "Guitar Jr" Johnson

The confidence that ex-Muddy Waters sideman Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson exudes on his contemporary albums wasn't quite there in abundance yet when the French Black & Blue imprint produced this album in 1976 with the rest of his Waters bandmates in tow. A few too many hoary covers ("Sweet Home Chicago," "Mother-In-Law Blues") also grate. But as ...

It's Good to Me (1992) more music like this

by Luther "Guitar Jr" Johnson

Another barn-burner mixing the guitarist's West-side roots with soul and blues shadings to present some of the fieriest contemporary blues on the market. Saxist Gordon Beadle and keyboardist Joe Krown distinguish themselves behind Johnson. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
