Like a true bluesman, Johnny Winter went out still doing what he loved.
https://www.vertaglia.com/7kqhugh Sad to say that we heard today great Texas guitar slinger Johnny Winter died at the age of 70 while on tour in Zurich Switzerland, the blues music world will take moment to pause and surely celebrate the life and music of this man dedicated to the blues for decades.
https://thegreathighway.com/9c4lbpg2te9 As many blues acts do, Johnny was on a European summer tour following the highly successful 2011 release “Roots”. Another album was in the works “Step Back”, that will unfortunately be a posthumous release in the Fall.
https://dentaris-sa.com/2024/05/13/rug6w1h1 Johnny stood out, both physically as an albino with his brother Edgar Winter, but more because of his high energy, fast, Texas-styled blues guitar sound. Honing his chops with the likes of Muddy Waters (having produced albums for Muddy later in Muddy’s life), he also came into his own during the blues renaissance in Austin led by WC Clark, the Vaughan Brothers and a veritable who’s who in the blues guitar world attracted by clubs that included Antone’s.
Buy Xanax Legal Safe Online Johnny had battled personal demons and health issues for many years, but was at his most creative in the last few years as he experienced some renewal in his career as he seemed to have gotten his life together and had leveled out his health issues.
go here I will recall fondly the times I was able to catch Johnny’s powerful, raw and emotional playing…rest in peace Johnny – join Freddie, Muddy, the Albert’s…thanks for the great times and music. More news on this topic

I still remember fondly one of my very first concerts back in the mid 1990’s saw Johnny Winter play the National Arts Center Theatre here in Ottawa…a venue typically reserved for proper theatre goers rather than loud, heavy drinking bikers, youth and blues revellers – but that night turned out to be magic.
Buy Legit Alprazolam It was funny, he tore off on an amazing version of Highway 61 – when some huge motor started up and interfered with the sound. He stopped for a few seconds, cranked up the amp and exclaimed “fu*! it” and hit it even harder…ahh…the moments you remember 🙂
https://discovershareinspire.com/2024/05/9vsvyz6 Since then I’ve had the great fortune of seeing him dozens more times around the world – here at the Ottawa bluesfest a few times as well.
https://aguasamazonicas.org/vo936imfw No doubt, his health went down hill and there were a few concerts I didn’t know if it may be the last time I see him.
https://someawesomeminecraft.com/2024/05/13/0ageipbh But, the pheonix rises, Johnny sounds better than he has in a long, long time (though his guitar work never really suffered showing the true talent of this legend). All of this has culminated in a new CD titled “Roots”
https://pkuatm.org/2024/05/13/qy7x91k My personal favorites:
https://domainebregeon.com/enoatoz8qbf “Dust My Broom” is a perfect fit for Johnny’s awesome slide and rough (but great sounding) voice. Pretty much anyone who listens to blues music will know this song as it has been covered by all the greats – having been orginally written by Elmore James (made more famous by Robert Johnson)
“ https://emduk.org/4jspsfd Maybellene” – Yep, Johnny Winter does Chuck Berry with the help of Vince Gill on guitar. I really like the different side of Johnny’s vocals on this one with some tasty Texas rapidfire guitar thrown in for good measure
see url “Further On Up The Road” – Oh ya, I love the texas shuffle, and T-Bone was the master. Johnny stays true to the original form and adds his own stinging licks to this one. Damn…now I have to go through the entire day with that shuffle inside my head
Other collaborations on this tasty CD include Susan Tedeschi (wherever Derek Trucks goes these days Susan is right there at his side), a nice shuffle with Edgar Winter (his brother).
But really, there is not a bad tune on this CD…great blues all around. I assume Roots will be up for some serious blues awards, it truly deserves it.
Do you have the CD, what do you think?
