Pure nasal heartbreaking crying steel guitar beer joint juke box grade twang, has never lost popularity in Scandinavia.

Heidi Hauge has a trace of Nordic accent in her Kitty Wells type rendition but Kevin Griffin does a pure Lefty sound as good as it gets.

This music sold lots of beer, and still does.

Luther performed at our Western MD Blues Fest a few months before he died.
We were warned by his agent, that he like to play a lot longer than contracted. The show was supposed to end at 11. At midnight, he was still going strong. At 12:30, the theater flashed the lights, he kept playing. At 1 PM, they cut his power. He unplugged, grabbed an acoustic guitar and came down into the seats. Finally at 1:30, they had the police escort him out. He died a few months later, I don't think anyone but him knew he was dying. He literally played the concert of his life. I saved his obituary notice and put it in one of his CD's. An amazing performer. His son is playing now, also excellent.
