Louise Johnson (circa 1908 – after 1930) was an American Delta blues singer and pianist, who was active in the 1920s and 1930s.
According to pianist John "Red" Williams, who remembered her in Tunica in the late 1920s, "she was a small woman, about 20 years old, playing piano in a joint attached to the cotton mill quarters".
[4] Cripple Clarence Lofton claimed he accompanied her on piano for her songs, but House disagreed, insisting Johnson herself provided the instrumentals.
[5] Despite her small stature, Johnson sang in a lusty voice and some of her material was of the dirty blues variety.
[7] Patton referred to the turn of events in his song, "Joe Kirby Blues".
