Armed with a pure white Telecaster inlayed with “WHITEY” on the neck, life-time “friend” of Gary Nicholson and legendary (albeit recently discovered) Whitey Johnson performed brilliantly with his band at the Douglas Corner Cafe last Friday night.
Armed with a lifetime of songs, Whitey performed songs like, MEMPHIS WOMEN AND CHICKEN, IF YOU CAN’T LIE NO BETTER, and BLUES IN BLACK AND WHITE. Joining him onstage were Colin Linden on guitar.. man can he play, Tom Hambridge and Dave Roe. In the picture, Whitey was joined by Leroy Parnell (playing Whitey’s Snow-white Les Paul) for a cameo appearance near the end of his first set.
When you’re in Nashville you can’t beat the shows at Douglas Corner Cafe or the Bluebird Cafe. Close, intimate, tight. Always a great show.
