Biography

Western mystics have written wisely about the pervasive spread of the Johnson surname across the continent: a half dozen people with this last name alone are featured on a single Big Joe Turner anthology album, although one might be credited twice. Some discographers think bluesy guitarist Freddy Johnson also doubled on bass while others nitpicking the legacy of the name insist there are two different guys. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide
