Whitey Johnson is a recently discovered blues singer/songwriter/guitarist from Texas, now living in Tennessee and performing worldwide. There are various stories about Whitey's past as he has made his living making music for well over thirty years, yet has remained relatively unknown, having only recently recorded his debut album.

Whitey Johnson was the first guitar player I ever saw that amazed me, and I always go back to that parking lot in Garland, Texas when someone asks what made me want to play. It was Labor Day 1963 with the new asphalt oozing a black goo that would rob your flip flops if you didn't keep moving. My baseball buddies and me were hot footin' all around the shopping center carnival, rocking the Tilt-a-Whirl and the bumper cars and ruling the Fun House.
