I love that solo

I believe Bob knows that it is impossible impersonating and playing like Luther, so he developed the sound a little so that it fitted him and still did tribute to Luther and kept up the sound. Quite good, even though Luther is/was irreplacable!

you could never replace luther perkins but bob wooten did a heck of a job trying. johnny cash is the greatest of all time

Luther could really play!
Bob Wootton is just amazing at that playing!
And his jazzmaster sounds fantastic!
I wish I could've known Luther and Johnny
-
Luther was one of a kind, but to my ear, technically speaking Bob was/is more accomplished.

This is really great ,,,when i first started playing 6 string lead i started with Luthers sound ! And learned most of Johnnys songs & im sill using it today ! Not a lot of lead players can get the Luther sound !
Thanks for posting !!!

@JimNauseam This is quite close to it, but in 80's Bob started playing unmuted.

It's important to remember how much Luther Perkin's muted flatpicking style defined Johnny's sound.
is the guy who replaced luther related to him? the guy in this vid and the guy on the tnt special which i believe is the same guy sorta reminds me of luther

@nicholasbhicks Luther was replaced by Bob Wooten who played for Johnny for 35 years. They were not related.
