Johnny Winter
one of the best blues guitarist ever.His latest leaves a little to be desired He seems to have slowed down abit with his health problems and age i suppose.

His cover of Dylan's Highway 61 still leaves me weak in the knees. Saw him show up at a small club in Asheville, NC during a Derringer show. He was great but Rick flat out blew him away. Kept doing Edgar Winter teases but wouldn't actually do one. Closed with Rock & Roll Hootchie Coo and about destroyed the place. Wow.

When he was not a drug addicted pychotic, he could really crank them out. Alternative opinion, when he was a drug addicted pychotic he could really crank them out. Peace. They say it is some where in a place in between.

I had the pleasure to see the Winter Bros. at seperate times at a small night club in San Jose, Calif. Man these guys rock!!!!

i was fortunate enough to see Johnny live in Fayetteville , Ar. It was an amazing show, I consider it to be a real honor to see someone who has been playing for the love of it for so long now. He knows we still love to here those strings bend!

worked for johnny one show in washington,n e v e r got to meet him but got to meet the the bass player and drumer. he has help on stage cause of the lights r so bright hurts his eyes. thats y he keeps eyes closed most of the time. one of the fastest, tastiest guitar players on the planet. Still alive and well! Blues master...... . . . . . . . . . .

Is Johnny in good health these days? I saw him live at the Blues club in chicago and he was guided on stage by an assistant, he was brought to the mike and did a set without moving one muscle. Any comment or info?

Johnny and SRV were both amazing Texas blues masters and I love them each for their own unique abilities.
Rest in peace Stevie. |

Generic as all hell. Still, SRV came so late as to essentially be copying Johnny. So it worked out for the best when SRV bought the farm. One stereotypica l "Texas style" bluesman is enough.
|

Johnny was and is still great, but Stevie Ray Vaughan is the best blues guitarist to ever come out of Texas. He has no competition except maybe Buddy Guy.

I've seen johnny 25 years ago - and I can say what I saw last year - He is the king of the blues / rock strings - no one can match this guy - He is in his own style - no copy cat - a true artist who has been playing all these years for us the fans and not the $'s - that definds an artist - from a drummer you are the best to jam to. love you johnny
