Louisiana Red, born Iverson Minter, was an influential American blues musician renowned for his emotive guitar-playing and impassioned vocals. His style was deeply rooted in Delta Blues, but he also incorporated elements of rhythm and blues and soul. Known for his extensive discography, his most significant work is perhaps "Sweet Blood Call," a classic blues album released in 1975. Louisiana Red's music reflected his tough early life and carried a raw, authentic tone that contributed significantly to the mid-20th-century blues scene.
