Louisiana Red (born Iverson Minter) was a flamboyant guitarist, harmonica player, and vocalist
He lost his parents early in life through multiple tragedies; his mother died of pneumonia a week after his birth, and his father was lynched by the Klu Klux Klan when he was five
Red began recording for Chess in 1949, then joined the Army. After his discharge, he played with John Lee Hooker in Detroit for almost two years in the late '50s, and continued through the '60s and '70s with recording sessions for a number of labels
Louisiana Red moved to Hanover, Germany in 1981, and maintained a busy recording and performing schedule through the subsequent decades into the new millennium
He died in Germany in 2012 when his thyroid imbalance brought on a stroke
Recorded in New York with Tommy Tucker, "Lowdown Back Porch Blues" is Louisiana Red's first album and, in many ways, it's his best
Supported by a bare-bones rhythm section, Red plays a number or traditional tunes and originals
His guitar is nearly as powerful and overwhelming as his vocals, making this a truly compelling listen
