My version of a Larry Johnson song, which he recorded on the Blue Goose LP 2003 (US 1970) "These Blues Is Meant To Be Barrelhoused"
Here's Larry's rendition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6asYkuZrko
Larry Johnson is a very underrated bluesman. Sadly his reworking of traditional songs were not approved by the "Blues Mafia".
His recording "Fast and Funky" is a must-have for every serious fingerpicker https://www.discogs.com/master/691764-Larry-Johnson-Fast-Funky

Larry Johnson was born in Wrightsville, Georgia.His father was a preacher who traveled extensively. This led to Johnson being exposed to blues records by Blind Boy Fuller, who inspired Johnson to learn the rudiments of guitar playing. He served in the Navy between 1955 and 1959, before relocating to New York City. After his befriending Brownie and Stick McGhee, Johnson found employment recording with Big Joe Williams, Harry Atkins, and Alec Seward. The latter gave Johnson an introduction to Reverend Gary Davis.

Johnson's first single release was "Catfish Blues" / "So Sweet" (1962), plus he made numerous live appearances with Davis over that decade. In 1971 Johnson released Fast and Funky, but his live playing gradually reduced. A couple of low key albums appeared in the 1980s, before Johnson received more regular live work in the 1990s, particularly in Europe. Whilst there his output included Railroad Man (1990) and Blues for Harlem (1999). Two Gun Green followed in 2002.

Johnson died on August 6, 2016, aged 78, in a nursing home in Harlem, New York.
