James "Super Chikan" Johnson is an American blues musician based in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

One commentator noted that Super Chikan, Big Jack Johnson, Booba Barnes, R. L. Burnside, and Paul "Wine" Jones were "present-day exponents of an edgier, electrified version of the raw, uncut Delta blues sound.

As he grew up, he came up with new ways to improve and vary the sounds he could make with it, and in 1964, at the age of thirteen, he bought his first guitar, an acoustic model that had only two strings, from a Salvation Army store in Clarksdale.

He did so, and in 1997 he released his debut album, Blues Come Home to Roost, influenced by such musicians as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and Chuck Berry.

[5] Super Chikan is also known for making artistic, handcrafted instruments out of recycled parts[6] and Bill Clinton and Paul Simon are among the people who have bought his guitars.
