Remembering guitarist Luther Monroe Perkins on the 51st anniversary of his death. Though he was never known for wild, or complicated solos, Perkins created Johnny Cash's "boom-chicka-boom" style as part of the Tennessee Two. He was only 40 years old when he died, apparently caused by falling asleep with a lit cigarette. Born: January 8, 1928, Como, MS Died: August 5, 1968, Hendersonville, TN As Johnny said in the song: "Luther played the boogie in the strangest kind of way." | GatorRock
