Women of the Delta Blues - Pt. 2- Louise Johnson

In the blazing 27c Mississippi heat I found that little remains of blues piano player, vocalist and writer Louise Johnson.  Her fame seems mostly contained in the Delta but she was impressive nonetheless.  Charlie Patton is quoted as saying "if you wanna hear the finest piano player around come out to Fosters Juke and hear Louise Johnson".  Above is the original Kirby-Wells Plantantion sign where Louise was raised and worked.  (Nothin' like John Deere green mailboxes eh?)

Tickle them L.
