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.
Louisiana Red (geboren als Iverson Minter) war ein Aufmerksamkeit erregender Gitarrist, Mundharmonikaspieler und Sänger. In frühester Jugend verlor er seine Eltern durch tragische Umstände; seine Mutter starb eine Woche nach seiner Geburt an Lungenentzündung und sein Vater wurde vom Klu Klux Klan gelyncht, als er fünf war. 1949 begann Red mit Aufnahmen für Chess, wurde dann aber zur Armee eingezogen. Nach seiner Entlassung spielte er in den späten Fünfzigerjahren beinahe zwei Jahre mit John Lee Hooker in Detroit; während der Sechziger- und Siebzigerjahre nahm er kontinuierlich Platten bei verschiedenen Labels auf. Ab 1981 lebte Louisiana Red in Hannover in Deutschland und hatte während der folgenden Jahrzehnte ein dichtgedrängtes Programm an Konzertauftritten und Plattenaufnahmen bis ins neue Jahrtausend. Er starb 2012 in Deutschland an einem Herzinfarkt, hervorgerufen durch eine Schilddrüsendysfunktion. Das in New York mit Tommy Tucker aufgenommene Album "Lowdown Back Porch Blues" ist das erste von Louisiana Red und in vieler Hinsicht sein bestes. Unterstützt von einer aufs notwendigste reduzierten Rhythmusgruppe spielt Red mehrere traditionelle Stücke und auch Eigenkompositionen. Sein Gitarrenspiel ist beinahe so kraftvoll und überwältigend wie sein Gesang und macht aus dieser Platte ein wirklich fesselndes Hörerlebenis.
