Luther 'Snake Boy ' Johnson (aka Luther 'Georgia Boy' Johnson) was born in Davisborough/ Georgia, in 1934. He began to play guitar behind Gospel groups in churchs on Sundays, and blues in clubs on Fridays & Saturdays nights.
After moving to Chicago, and at the recommandation of Otis Spann, he joined in 1967 the Muddy Waters Blues Band for two years. After that, he moved to Boston where he formed in own band.
He died of cancer at the early age of 42, laying behind him some really good studio or live performances as Get down to the Nitty Gritty, Lonesome in my bedroom or this special album: They call me the Snake (sessions from 1970 to 72)
