You guys are Sooooo Close......just drop down a few more lines on this album and react to Highway 61 Revisited to hear some of Johnny's very best slide guitar and vocals. This track is a masterpiece of rock and roll and really has no equal. He took a Bob Dylan song to completely another level. I've been recommending this to you for 6 months......do it while you have the album on tap. Thanks for the memories and keep up the great reactions, which IMO are the best, on point I've seen. Enjoy.
"Cool Daddy" Johnny, one of the all-time greats! I saw him many times, venues ranging from an Atlanta bar to a hockey arena to a festival with 500,000 people. Never disappointed, always amazing. RIP
Johnny Winter absolutely loved The Blues and Muddy Waters. He produced Muddy's 1977 comeback album "Hard Again," which was a huge hit and helped Muddy put some money in the bank. Johnny's skin was albino white, but his soul was black, and his blood was rock & roll blues.
Back in the mid 70’s as a very young teenager I joined the Columbia Music Club (with no money) and ordered 2Jonny Winter albums along with 8 others ones. That was my introduction to his music. Still have the records
Even in the midst of so many of the giants of the Blues and Rock music, Johnny Winter was something special. Immensely talented and such a great sound. He left behind a catalog that any musician would be proud of.
Saw him play in the Netherlands long time ago. He was about 10 feet away from me. As a guitar player i must say, never saw anything like him. It's really unbelieveble, what this guy did on only six strings. Thanks guys, awsome reaction. 😁👍👊❤️
Johnny Winter had his greatest success on the main American record chart with his albums: Johnny Winter (1969), Second Winter (1969), Live Johnny Winter And (1971), and "Still Alive and Well (1973) all reached the top forty on the Billboard 200 album chart. Beginning in 1973, Winter's music was issued by Blue Sky Records (a Columbia custom label) but at Blue Sky Winter also became a producer and was responsible for releases by Chicago blues pioneer Muddy Waters. He produced Hard Again (1977) which earned Water's a Grammy Award and helped re-establish his popularity, in the years after 1984. Here's the studio version of one of their songs, if interested. "Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy (Audio)" (by the channel: MUDDYWATERSVEVO) Enjoyed jamming with you fellas' thanks for sharing.peace out~
Also from this album, see the bluesy "Memory Pain", and the great slide guitar playing on his cover of Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited". That was his brother Edgar on the keyboards. This isn't typical because it's the only song with a mandolin on it, giving it a bit of a bluegrass flavour.
Saw Johnny 8x and saw Muddy once with Clapton. Blew EC away, 1980 Freedom Hall Johnson City, TN...only show they did an encore(s). The JW collaboration w Muddy on Hard Again showcases Muddy's prowess as the king. JW best showcase lp...Johnny Winter Captured Live...boom
All of Johnny's LPs are solid, smokin Blues Rock and always sound fresh to me after more than 50 years. 2 of my favorites from his Columbia years are "Johnny Winter And..." w/ Rick Derringer and " Still Alive and Well" from when he got out of rehab and blew up the studio. I got to see him around 1978 and he was too amazing for words. Captured Live from 1976 has a version of " Highway 61 " that is unmatchable.
FINALLY !!!!! Finally someone is reacting to the one and only Johnny...He was a masterful blues player as well as a all out rocker. He has so many great tunes... plse. try "Mojo Boogie" or "Parchment Farm" or "Murdering Blues" and get your mind blown !!!!!
Johnny Winter is insanely good Blues/Rock guitarists ever. He and Jimi Hendrix are still considered the gold standard. In the late 60s I was in High school, and I had a animation, Black Light poster of Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Winter as "Super Heros of Rock. It was like this cartoon poster of the two of them standing next to each other with guitars in hand. I wish I still had it, because it's worth about $25,000 at auction. Johnny Winter was a bad man, and so was his brother Edgar.
Have seen Johnny about five times. Smaller clubs, large venues, with Muddy Waters. Once when he opened for George Thorogood. Poor George. His first LP got some interesting stuff with stripped down delta blues sound. A good cover he does of The Rolling Stones song Let It Bleed that I believe is on his Still Alive and Well LP.
I saw him play at the Pickle Barrel Bar in southern Vermont in 1991. It was a great show and not a bad seat in the house. At the time, I was the blues radio DJ for UVM.
This is a great song... On that same album and my favorite is "I love Everybody" also great is "Memory Pain" Note: Bass player, Tommy Shannon was also SRV's bassist.
Johnny was awesome, saw him twice, mid 1970s, once with the James Gang in a big arena that they both shredded, then in the Palace Theater in Waterbury CT, he played well over 2 hours with a couple jams that stretched past 15 minutes, that man was a vibe unto himself and is greatly missed. Guitarist extraordinaire! RIP. Try something from his great album 'Johnny Winter And', do Prodigal Sun. Rick Derringer is in his band on that album, they do a scorching Rock And Roll, Hoochie Koo as well, some of his very best stuff from his prime. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎶
Please consider reactions to 'The Band' that consisted of Levon Helms (vocals and drums, etc), Rick Danko (vocals and bass, etc), Robbie Robertson (guitar), Richard Manuel (vocals and piano, etc), and Garth Hudson (organ etc). Started together as Ronnie Hawkins backing band. They broke out on their own, introducing us to a new experience called 'Americana' music. The played Woodstock (69) and were asked by Bob Dylan to back him with a transition from his folk style to a electric style music. The Band call it quits with a lavish farewell show at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Nov. 25, 1976. Filmed by Martin Scorsese, this documentary features standout performances by rock legends such as Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell and Muddy Waters, as well as interviews tracing the group's history and discussing road life. The top songs that I recommend to reacts to are from The Last Waltz: 1. Up on Cripple Creek 2. The Shape I'm in 3. Who do you love, with R. Hawkins 4. Don't do it And many many many others.
Johnny first 3 Albums (Progressive Blues Experiment on Imperial, 1st Columbia Album and this one) in the late 60's and early 70's was his greatest period before the drugs took over. Tommy Shannon laid down some of the most pure Bass Blues Progressions ever. Check out Be Careful With A Fool and Its My Own Fault.
This album is excellent ✌️ Saw Johnny in the mid 70’s ..small club in ct How bout some more Allman Brothers Leave My Blues At Home (Idlewild South Album) 🍑🎸🙏 Thanks ….Have A Great Day 👍
This was a go-to album for me during my teen years, when this album was still basically new. The song right after this one on the album, "The Good Love", is another one to check out, or even Johnny's version of Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited". Johnny was a guitar hero to me.
Hey you guys are great good video.. I was just wondering when you saw Edgar sing Tobacco Road and he blew your way did you have any idea that Johnny was going to blow him away
There's a song on this album written by Dennis "Crash" Collins called "The Good Love", he also played bass on that track. Mr Collins was a long-time original DJ on the best rock radio station in Houston, 101.1 KLOL. It's long since been sold and no longer plays rock though. Rumor has it that "Crash" would play entire album sides on the radio so he could sleep and when the record ended you could hear him snoring over the radio. It really was the best rock station in Houston.
I'm assuming that's Edgar wailing on the keyboard. Does anyone know if that's him? You guys should hear Johhny's version of Highway 61 from this album, a song he played for a long time thru his career. Second Winter did have more of that rock sound than his debut album which was more pure blues.
MORE JOHNNY! Edgar is awesome too, but he gets more love on the reactions for some reason. JOHNNY IS THE FUCKIN MAN though! Just listen to his first album all the way through. Then branch out. But his self titled debut is raw AF!
You guys are Sooooo Close......just drop down a few more lines on this album and react to Highway 61 Revisited to hear some of Johnny's very best slide guitar and vocals. This track is a masterpiece of rock and roll and really has no equal. He took a Bob Dylan song to completely another level.

My fav cut is Memory Pain.
Abe said Where ya want this killin done?
God said Out on Highway 61!
"Cool Daddy" Johnny, one of the all-time greats!
I saw him many times, venues ranging from an Atlanta bar to a hockey arena to a festival with 500,000 people. Never disappointed, always amazing. RIP
Johnny Winter was a musical genius! He also was a great producer. He produced 3 albums for Muddy Waters.
I agree. Johnny and Muddy working together is some of the blues ever played. Great stuff
I saw them live touring the Hard Again Lp. Great time.
Best*
A rockin' bluesman if there ever was one. His music will live forever. Rock on.
Hustled Down in Texas!! Dude was amazing!
Johnny Winter absolutely loved The Blues and Muddy Waters. He produced Muddy's 1977 comeback album "Hard Again," which
was a huge hit and helped Muddy put some money in the bank. Johnny's skin was albino white, but his soul was black, and his
blood was rock & roll blues.
God love the Winter Bros! So glad to see you bros giving them the respect they deserve. Thank you. 👍RIP Johnny, ❤ you Edgar.
Thank you for another JW. He’s playing mandolin on this number. This is one of my favorite albums of his with Memory Pain being my favorite song.
hey guys...Johnny Winters..."tv momma" just Johnny and his guitar...epic!!!
Johnni, un GRANDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back in the mid 70’s as a very young teenager I joined the Columbia Music Club (with no money) and ordered 2Jonny Winter albums along with 8 others ones. That was my introduction to his music. Still have the records
The Winter Bros!😊😊😊What were their parents thinking when they made them!😉
I saw him back in 1975 in Chicago , what a showman
I’ve never heard this one before. Straight to the playlist!
I saw Johnny Winter in concert in 1970. He puts on quite a show.
In 1988 Johnny became the first non-African American to be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
Even in the midst of so many of the giants of the Blues and Rock music, Johnny Winter was something special. Immensely talented and such a great sound. He left behind a catalog that any musician would be proud of.
Eric Clapton once was asked what it was like to be the best blues guitarist. He replied, ask Johnny Winter.
Saw him play in the Netherlands long time ago. He was about 10 feet away from me.
As a guitar player i must say, never saw anything like him. It's really unbelieveble, what this guy did on only six strings.
Thanks guys, awsome reaction. 😁👍👊❤️
I know what you mean, I first saw Johnny in an Atlanta bar, close up.
Remember thinking - damn this guy plays lead AND rythym at the same time!
Glad to see him getting some love
I saw him play at a bar circa 1990....transcendental

White Trash Roadworks was pretty cool. 🙏🍁

Fluid like a fast moving creek.
Great album lot good tunes!
His singing on this song hits the sweet spot in my brain! ☮️❤️
I love a song he does called All Tore Down.
i think you guys would love everything on still alive and well
When he cooks, he cooks with FIRE!
Still Alive And Well is one of the best Blues/Rock albums ever made. Johnny's cover of Let It Bleed is a must.
Laa, Chee. Keep rocking guys.
Great choice, great album, glad I have my original vinyl, he is one of the guitar goats !
Wasn't that original l.p. a double album with one side 4 blank?
@@mikefannon6994 yes right, rock on !
He has a song called Last Night from the White Hot & Blue album that is one of the greatest blues songs I have ever heard !
Ahhh,Second Winter,well done,Memory Pain is a banger.
Saw Johnny 8x and saw Muddy once with Clapton. Blew EC away, 1980 Freedom Hall Johnson City, TN...only show they did an encore(s).
The JW collaboration w Muddy on Hard Again showcases Muddy's prowess as the king.
JW best showcase lp...Johnny Winter Captured Live...boom
Reminds me of riding in an old friends Pontiac Bonneville. The factory radio had a reverb knob! Reverb is a forgotten magic!

Spin “Be Careful with a Fool”, Johnny at his best.

And First Winter, also Any Mean town blues live or studio
If you want some great slide check out Highway 61 Revisited from Johnny Winter Captured Live, best version IMO
Interesting side note about Johnny Winter's band is that the bass player is Tommy Shannon who later became Stevie Ray Vaughan's bass player.
Hustled Down in Texas! From same album.
I saw him play at the Pickle Barrel Bar in southern Vermont in 1991. It was a great show and not a bad seat in the house. At the time, I was the blues radio DJ for UVM.
This is a great song... On that same album and my favorite is "I love Everybody" also great is "Memory Pain" Note: Bass player, Tommy Shannon was also SRV's bassist.
The cat playing bass is Tommy Shannon, who also played for Stevie Ray Vaughan. 🤘

Nice. Groove factor 10
Now check out "Memory Pain" from the same album. Johnny's guitar work is a banger, and much more polished than the live versions you've covered.
Johnny Winter. Gotta do the Woodstock Gig. Legendary 🌄✌️🪴
Love Johnny Winter! Check out his performance at Woodstock.
Please checkout “I love everybody” on this album. Smokin tune.
"Highway 61" is a great song to react to.
SRV followed Johnny Winter.Both Texas bluesmen ,even had the same bass player Tommy Shannon.

1. Up on Cripple Creek 2. The Shape I'm in
3. Who do you love, with R. Hawkins
4. Don't do it
And many many many others.
Gotta check out Johnny with Muddy Waters.

Off his first album really any song, but “I’ll Drown in My Tears.”
You all should have a lot more subscribers than you do, I hope that grows for you very soon.😊
That groove didn't take long to Drop ... mercy .
This album is excellent ✌️
Saw Johnny in the mid 70’s ..small club in ct
How bout some more Allman Brothers
Leave My Blues At Home (Idlewild South Album) 🍑🎸🙏
Thanks ….Have A Great Day 👍
This was a go-to album for me during my teen years, when this album was still basically new. The song right after this one on the album, "The Good Love", is another one to check out, or even Johnny's version of Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited". Johnny was a guitar hero to me.
The STRANGER 🔥🔥🔥
Kansas. "He Knew". Fellas!
Try Third Degree.
❤
Try albums Sinners and Saints, Nothing But the Blues, Johnny Winters live and.
SRV's bass player was with Johnny Winter before Stevie.
Hey you guys are great good video.. I was just wondering when you saw Edgar sing Tobacco Road and he blew your way did you have any idea that Johnny was going to blow him away

It really was the best rock station in Houston.
Nazareth Miss Misery is a great tune fellas.
You should do Still Alive and Well.
🏆👍
Texas Blues 😮
Wait 6 days since Black Sabbath....!!! need my fix...lol
I'm assuming that's Edgar wailing on the keyboard. Does anyone know if that's him? You guys should hear Johhny's version of Highway 61 from this album, a song he played for a long time thru his career. Second Winter did have more of that rock sound than his debut album which was more pure blues.
Tommy Shannon on bass
Please pleaseee react to at least some of the song off Still Alive And Well. Johnny Winter doesn't get talked about nearly enough.
One of the best ever. IMHO, this song doesn't really showcase his genius.
The Winters boys were bad boys….
Where's Al?
The whitest great soul. Blues negatives. Never go wrong with the Winter brothers
Try ain't nothing to me for something a little different from Johnny winter.
Not the best representation of his music.
Not his best work. Look for when he co.mited to the blues.
Cool Daddy…😎
MORE JOHNNY! Edgar is awesome too, but he gets more love on the reactions for some reason. JOHNNY IS THE FUCKIN MAN though! Just listen to his first album all the way through. Then branch out. But his self titled debut is raw AF!
Johnny don’t play! You gotta check out his slide guitar masterpiece LIVE at WOODSTOCK!!!
Come on, He has MUCH BETTER music than this!!!!
