      Met him & his band backstage at a music festival. As down to earth and real as anyone I ever met. And these are my kind of people.
      I’m a straight male but I have loved Johnny like a brother. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know him.

    Man, I followed him since '70's high school...my 1️⃣st real guitar hero. ❤️
    It’s interesting how he reflects on his early, voracious appetite for ALL blues recordings...BUT didn't initially focus on the early country blues, it was the electric blues that 1st captured his attention. Ironically, I too, was much the same, but as my tastes & listening experiences deepened, my love for the early pioneers of genre, truly grew. He speaks from the heart, very intelligent, (Tommy Shannon insisted that BOTH Johnny & Egar are not only musical virtuosos, but intellectual geniuses).
    This was a great interview, thanks. 👍

Saw JDW ~ 10 times, just the best and most versatile (blues/rock/country-tinged jazz, etc.) singer/guitar slinger combo of all-time, IMHO. R.I.P. Johnny

    Being from Brazil start to like music at age 14,listen to Jimi and was hooked in guitar right there. Led me to Johnny and is an instant became my hero,start buying his albums and the love kept growing.My girl gave me a dog,got him and when asked how would name him , said his name is Winter.Little did i know how the name fit my dog,as he grow from a pup to his size race,,english pointer in a way was much like Johnny. So much energy,fast could outrun any dog,jump so high,even dive head in the water to pick up heavy rocks in the ocean.Moved to the States and saw my hero three times live during my life.Also because of him got a treat to see Muddy Waters at The Roxy on Sunset Blvd.Loved the man and the musician...RIP my hero,sure miss you

    Got to see him several times in the 80s at smaller rock/blues clubs and the smaller rock stage at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Despite his ability, he wasn't filling up larger venues like so many lesser talented acts. Could never get over seeing this small, frail looking guy take the stage and put out that magnificent smoking electric blues sound. Glad I got to see him when he was still with us and so saddened to hear of his passing.

    In the summer of 1969(I think), I saw saw BB King and Johnny Winter in a small bar, with psychedelic light show in downtown Cleveland, call the Uphoria. Buddy Miles backed them up on drums. The following year Johnny Winter headlined his own show in Cleveland's Severance Hall, with his famous Rock n' Roll Hoochie Coo and others!

    Great interview. Johnny is more revealing than I've heard him before. Still haven't heard him say why he covered Stones so often. I figure it's because they popularized the stuff he already knew and loved. And Mick and Keith soon knew that. They were white boys bringing it back, but Johnny was there all the time.

      You make a good point...Johnny in his earlier years was not the most revealing person to interview...I think his major tussle with heroin and alcohol during the 70s brought him down for awhile....but then he just got it together even more so after that dark time!..As a forever fan of Hendrix, I wish Johnny could have expounded more than he did, as to his thoughts about Jimi.
