John Thurman Hunter Jr., known as Long John Hunter, and born on July 13, 1931, in Ringgold, Louisiana, was an American Texas blues guitarist and singer-songwriter. He began his musical journey after moving to Beaumont, Texas, and formed a small band inspired by B.B. King's guitar playing. By 1957, Hunter had moved to El Paso and established himself as the city’s prominent bluesman, performing regularly at the Lobby Club in Ciudad Juárez for 13 years. He released several albums, including Smooth Magic (1985), Ride with Me (1992), Border Town Legend (1996), and Swinging from the Rafters (1997). Hunter passed away on January 4, 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona.
