About Me

D. Johnson is a critically acclaimed guitar player that performs 1930s Mississippi Delta Blues in the style of Robert Johnson, Son House and other legendary delta blues players.

"D. Johnson performs very authentic 1930s delta blues...the real deal." Jack Douglas, producer of Aerosmith, John Lennon, and Bob Dylan

"Johnson has a master's touch with his instrument and a good feel for the Son House/Robert Johnson styled blues." Blues Access Magazine

"...Johnson shows us in these modern times just how it was done and how it should be done to call up the masters." Illinois Blues Society

"...This is incredible stuff: Remarkably disturbing traditional slide blues cut from the same cloth of the likes of Son House and Robert Johnson." Southwest Blues Magazine
