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.
