COUNTERFIT HITS 
PLATINUM WITH 
20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY



Luther Perkins,
born in Como, Mississippi, January 8, 1928
, created the familiar Johnny Cash “boom-chicka-boom” guitar style forever linked to the Man in Black, and his music. In my opinion, one cannot think of Johnny Cash without considering the simple, yet affective guitar work Luther developed (1955-1968), and (from 1969) Bob Wootton continued. Indeed, Bob continued to refine, and adapt the unique “Luther style” while at the same time retain the integrity of one of the most recognized sounds of the twentieth century.

In conversations with Luther’s widow, Margie, I discover Luther had a never-ending desire to improve his guitar talents, including adding more intricate dimensions within his own creation.

Review the Johnny Cash recordings made over the years, and enjoy listening to Luther gain agility, and innovation from 1955, until his death in Nashville, August 5, 1968. 

As side note, if I may: It's with great pride and thanks I learned the first Musicians Hall of Fame induction ceremony included Luther within their hallowed halls, November 2007. I initiated the idea of putting Luther in the hall, and gave officials  contact information after I spoke with Luther's widow, Margie.

How do you like that Fender Jazzmaster?
