Wikipedia - "Willie Johnson (March 4, 1923 – February 26, 1995) was an American electric blues guitarist. ... As the guitarist in the first band led by Howlin' Wolf, he appeared on most of Wolf's recordings between 1951 and 1953. He provided the slightly jazzy yet raucous guitar sound that was the signature of all of Wolf's Memphis recordings. Johnson also performed and recorded with other blues artists in the Memphis area, including pianist Willie Love, Willie Nix, Junior Parker, Roscoe Gordon, Bobby 'Blue' Bland and others.

Johnson stayed on in Memphis for several years, playing on a number of sessions for Sun Records, including a 1955 collaboration with vocalist Sammy Lewis, 'I Feel So Worried', released under the name Sammy Lewis with Willie Johnson. ..."
