    I’ve only heard Luther do a duet with June and backup vocals for Johnny, but never actually heard an interview of him. Given that his career was cut short, it’s amazing that this exists at all.

      I agree, why was Luther's career cut short, I didn't realize that?

    Nice to hear Luther's voice. He was always Johnny's silent poker faced guitar picker.

    Incredible!! I've wanted to hear an interview with Luther. I was wondering if there were any out there. I just about fell out of my chair when I came across this. Great post, Lost. I don't know how you find these gems.

    Luther was an important guitar player and an integral part of the Cash sound. As with Dewey Phillips, I don't believe Luther was ever given a proper, in depth interview.

      Yep. You can also just barely see him wearing an Air Force bracelet on his right arm in a few live videos.

      Luther and Steve Marriott, another guitarist I admire. Both killed by falling asleep with a cigarette on the go.
