  • Luther Perkins (born January 8, 1928, Como, Mississippi, USA - died August 5, 1968, Nashville, Tennessee, USA) was an American guitarist and a member [a135946]'s backing band [a439538] which in 1960, with the addition of drummer [a386089], became [a508982].Perkins served as Johnny Cash's first guitar player and helped invent Cash's unique country style with his simple %22boom-chicka-boom%22 guitar patterns. The song %22Walk The Line%22 is a good example of his style. Perkins' way of playing was one of the factors that made [a340809] sign them up for a record deal at Sun Record Company. When he first heard them, he didn't like what they played, but he liked how they played it.Perkins died as a result of third degree burns and smoke inhalation after he fell asleep holding a lit cigarette in his hand.
