Louisiana Red • Sweet Blood Call

 


Biography

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 Chess, Checker, Atlas, Glover, Roulette, L&R, and Tomato, among others.

Louisiana Red moved to Hanover, Germany in 1981, and maintained a busy recording and performing schedule through the subsequent decades into the new millennium, his 21st century releases including 2001's Driftin' on Earwig, 2002's A Different Shade of Red on Severn, 2004's Bad Case of the Blues on Mojo Tone, 2005's No Turn on Red on Hightone and Hot Sauce on Red Lightnin', and 2008's Back to the Black Bayou (recorded in Norway with producer/guitarist Little Victor) on Ruf. He died in Germany in 2012 when his thyroid imbalance brought on a stroke.

Biografía
Louisiana Red (nacido Iverson Minter) era un guitarrista, armónica y vocalista extravagante. Perdió a sus padres a temprana edad a través de múltiples tragedias; su madre murió de neumonía una semana después de su nacimiento, y su padre fue linchado por el Klu Klux Klan cuando tenía cinco años.

Red comenzó a grabar para Chess en 1949, y luego se unió al ejército. Después de su baja, tocó con John Lee Hooker en Detroit durante casi dos años a finales de los 50, y continuó durante los 60 y 70 con sesiones de grabación para Chess, Checker, Atlas, Glover, Roulette, L&R, y Tomato, entre otros.

Louisiana Red se trasladó a Hannover (Alemania) en 1981 y mantuvo un apretado calendario de grabaciones y actuaciones durante los decenios siguientes en el nuevo milenio. Entre sus lanzamientos del siglo XXI cabe citar Driftin' on Earwig (2001), A Different Shade of Red (2002) en Severn, Bad Case of the Blues (2004) en Mojo Tone, No Turn on Red (2005) en Hightone y Hot Sauce (2008) en Red Lightnin', y Back to the Black Bayou (2008) (grabado en Noruega con el productor/guitarrista Little Victor) en Ruf. Murió en Alemania en 2012 cuando su desequilibrio tiroideo le provocó un derrame cerebral.
