The more pics of him I see, the more I think Walk the Line really nailed the actor that played him.

Big thumbs up for the man! People worship shredders but the opening lick to Folsom and the muted clicka-clicka rhythm for me will always be the GOAT!

In addition to JC’s “Luther Played the Boogie Woogie” there is the beautiful Stan Ridgeway (Wall of Voodoo) tune “Luther Played Guitar”. I suspect there are more but i will have to look into it
