Growing up in the 60s, I wore out several needles on my record player trying to learn how to achieve Luther‘s sound on a guitar.

When you consider the fact that he trailblazed a new guitar sound that helped make one of the most famous entertainers in American history famous….and then you consider that he played on so many million selling records that are still very relevant even 65 years later….I think he should be in the country music hall of fame. I have thought this for several years now.

I think it’s safe to say his guitar style is one of the most iconic sounds in country music. In fact, it might be the most iconic sound.

What would country music have been without Luther? Well done film! He is my favorite guitar player, and the inspiration for most of the music I make.

I knew Johnny Cash had two supporting musicians but I never knew who they were. After seeing this video on Luther Perkins I now know more about one of them and came to find out what a remarkable individual he was. I hope you're resting in peace, Mr. Perkins.

You know, with Luther's guitar style they really didn't need a drummer. He played a terrific and driving rhythm guitar as well.

I'm 21 years old Luther has been my number one Guitar hero since I was young very young and I first heard Johnny Cash Luther is still my number one guitar influence I even use flatwounds I use my own custom set the 7/38 with an 18 wound third this is the gauge set I've been using for years on my homemade electric guitar that was built by me and my grandfather from scratch

Wooten was a Cash disciple. He got on stage and played all of Cash's music, that is how he got the job. No, he wasn't Luther, but the played the music like he did. The round remained essentially the same.

Listen to what he said, that he was “in the Air Force but not at the same time nor the same place as was Johnny”. I wish people who put down Southerners as being just old hillbilly’s with over-simplified ways of speaking would take note. That’s some very good English, which is seldom heard anywhere in the US anymore.
