      To me he is the best blues slide player ever. Rivaled only in my opinion by some of the late, great Duane Allman's bottleneck slide work from back in the 60's and early 70's. Both were incredibly gifted, virtuoso slide players, but Winter was, IMO, a bit faster with that "pinkie slide" than Allman was with his "ring-finger" slide, and Winter was I think more skilled and polished because Allman's time was so brief dying in that motorcycle crash a month shy of his 25th birthday.

      I have to agree with you on the fact that Winters was amazing and only got better with time. He was definitely amazing. I was a big fan. Although I’m such a big Allman Brothers fan and the biggest reason is and was because of Duane Allman. Look when I was in my teens I was lucky enough to see them in concert more than I probably should have. I couldn’t keep my eyes off Duane and it wasn’t because I was a young infatuated girl. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of his hands!! I know, weird right ! But there you have it ! Then I read anything I would come across about him, how he was self taught and his progression over the next years. Then out of nowhere he dies and I was crushed. I still read everything I could find. I read articles about some really top dogs in the industry who couldn’t get him on their recordings fast enough. Then hearing some others talking about how he was the one who taught them how to use the slide. His portfolio was very extensive. I’ve always wondered just how far he would have gone had he not died so early. I’m 65 now and I still wonder just what would have happened had he lived a full life. I sound like a true lunatic don’t I ? I promise I’m not. Just a true fan. Bet you didn’t think you were going to get an ear full did ya ! 🤣🤣🤣

      @@sherryarflin726 Johnny Winters was absolutely a great player, Imo his style was more along that of Texas blues. I think Duane established a style of slide play that was more his own. He was just learning what he could do, having not been a slide player very long. Some are just born with it. It was Duane and Dickey's play with the ABB that inspired me when I was 15 to pick up a guitar and attempt to learn to play. I'm almost 65 now and they still nspire me. I think that mantle has now fallen to Derek Trucks and he may have surpassed both JW and DA. Just my opinion.

      I’m not sure if you’re scolding me like a recalcitrant child or what. I agree with what you are saying and it was my father and my brother that encouraged me to pick up a guitar when I was 12. I think that’s why I was so awed by Duane. I thought Betts was was a great guitarist also. As far as Derek Trucks. That kid was phenomenal at 13 and only more so as an accomplished musician now. I’m also as I sad a big fan of Winters. Always was. 😁

    From what I've heard, since both brothers are albinos, they're eyes are very sensative to bright lights, so pretty much they had to stay indoors, and their parents had just encourged them to make all the noise they wanted in the house. Both play many different instruments, from drums/percussion, guitars, bass, pianos and key instruments, wind instruments, singing, and what ever they can get their hands on, also at the age of 4 or 5, they were already performing, put all that into one big pot, stir it up, and you get these two cats.

She had old 78 rpm blues, or race records, as they used to be called & other hard to find records, even contemporary stuff. Johnny would come in looking for those old Mississippi blues guy's records that he loved so much. She told me he would hold the record's sleeve real close to his face trying to read the liner notes. He was legally blind & as far as I know he never wore glasses. I've been a fan since his first Columbia record in 69 I think it was when he got a pretty good deal of money for those days.

    Of course you need to look into the album this originally came from,
    Bob Dylans "Highway 61 Revisited". Every song on it is worth a listen.

    U.S. Route 61 or U.S. Highway 61 (US 61) is a major United States highway that extends 1,400 miles (2,300 km) between New Orleans, Louisiana and the city of Wyoming, Minnesota. The highway generally follows the course of the Mississippi River and is designated the Great River Road for much of its route. As of 2004, the highway's northern terminus in Wyoming, Minnesota, is at an intersection with Interstate 35 (I-35). Until 1991, the highway extended north on what is now Minnesota State Highway 61 (MN 61) through Duluth to the Canada-U.S. border near Grand Portage. Its southern terminus in New Orleans is at an intersection with U.S. Route 90 (US 90). The route was an important south-north connection in the days before the interstate highway system.
    The highway is often called the Blues Highway because of its long history with the Blues genre. It is the supposed location where singer-songwriter Robert Johnson made a deal with the Devil for his successes. Other notable songs named for the highway include a blues song recorded in 1957 by Sunnyland Slim; one in 1962 by Johnny Young; and a 1981 song, "61 Highway", by bluesman James "Son" Thomas. To denote US 61's significance in blues music history, there are two markers on the route which are part of the Mississippi Blues Trail: 61 Highway in Vicksburg, Mississippi and Highway 61 Blues in Tunica, Mississippi.[1][2] The road later gave its name to Minnesota native Bob Dylan's album Highway 61 Revisited and to the song of the same name, which imagines all sorts of fantastical events (including World War III) occurring alongside it.

    Johnny is my number one man and had the pleasure of seeing him four times. The last time I was 10 feet away from him in his later years after decades of a difficult life, an old man being led out onto a seat on stage, THEN he picked up that guitar and the man was back. My lasting memory was of him pulling out the Firebird and playing this song one last time. Check out Be Careful With a Fool from that same Swedish show as Edgar. His best work is with his idol Muddy Waters not shredding playing tastefully but still expertly backing up his hero. Also a tip of the hat to Floyd Radford for stepping in on Second Lead here. Sadly Richard Hughes the talented drummer on this took his own life not too long after this and the bass player Randy Jo Hobbs overdosed.

    Don't know if they still are, but at one point Johnny and Edgar were in the Guinness Book for the only two albino children born to one mother.
    I saw Johhny Winter with Wishbone Ash opening in 1970 (or 80).

    Johnny Winter was the greatest slide guitar player ever, as anyone listening to this song will attest. In his prime he was one of the greatest guitar players around. It's unfortunate that all the press could write about was Page, Clapton, and Beck. JW's blues playing could blow them all away. Back in his prime, he had so much energy and it came through in his playing. Unfortunately, people today will never know. And youtube does not have any of his greatest playing. Even Hendrix was a JW fan. I would suggest that if anyone liked this song, then buy his Johnny Winter And live and this album Captured live. The first time I saw him play was back in the early 70's. SRV fans, you haven't a clue as to how much better JW back then than SRV ever was when it came to blues and slide. Also, the press hails Duane Allman as the greatest slide player. I would say they were the same. It is truly a shame he had so many drug problems and bad management that used him as a cash cow. The last time I saw him play was in a bar/night club6 months before his death. I was standing eight feet away from him. He was playing on automatic and you could see that he was a skeloton of what he once was. Really tragic. I admired his playing so much that it broke my heart to see him as I did. He could not walk without help and looked like he weighed 80 pounds.

    I saw Johnny Winter live in 1975 with Rich Derringer and Johnny used to wear a leather hat kinda like a cowboy hat. Somebody through a firecracker or worse up on stage and it landed right in Johnny’s hat and he had no idea. Somebody from the stage ran out and grabbed the hat off his head and through it on the ground and stepped on it. Johnny just looked at him like what the hell are you doing? That was June 1975 at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey. If you were there chime in.

  • @obbor4

    It's Johnny with Floyd Rayford on rhythm guitar, along with his band featuring Randy Jo Hobbs (who Jimi Hendrix dubbed "Randy Texas", when he and Randy Wolfe, later renamed Randy California, by Jimi played together before Jimi took off with Chas Chandler and went into orbit) and drummer Richard Hughes. I got in plenty of hot water with the neighbors by playing this album at "eleven!"

    You mention musician brothers. I don't know, you've got the Winter's, the Allman's, the Van Halen's, even Eddie's son's great beyond his years. The Davies brothers, the Winwood's, probably many I can't think of. Just incredible musical genetics along with dedication.

    @ant240 1st album of his I ever listened to in 9th grade, 1969. My friend, Eric Kyle Heuschele (Good Guitarist already @14) was playing "Dazed and Confused" on his electric guitar (good--actually got to play W//Johnny at the Ramona "Main Stage"about 8 years ago) He had "First Winter"..I was reading the liner. he put Led Zeppelin on...."I can't Quit You Babe"...little more than halfway through, takes it off..and asks, "1st Winter, it has some good ones..wanna listen to some cuts? .Played 3 songs off it..."Hey I got the new Johnny album, the other day, at Tower--"2nd Winter" it has three sides and he rocks out a lot more on it" --"Highway 61 Revisited" I already really like Bob Dylan's..one of his best! But Johnny's smokin' slide guitar..truly blew me away!! "Blues Breakers" Michael Bloomfield..Paul Butterfield ..Derek and the Dominoes were some of the things we listened to---But DAMN --"Play it again!" --played it 3 times, at least--Shreddin' Blues Guitar! Hooked ever SINCE!

    One of my top 3 rock/blues guitarist ever. He has a double sided album that only has recordings on 3 of the sides and this album is one of the best ever. Starts out with the classic “serves my right to suffer , serves me right to be alone” his playin on that tune is worth the album itself. J Winter is a king’s King

    I was lucky enough to see Johnny live while on this tour at the acoustically-perfect, theater-intimate McFarland Auditorium on the campus of SMU in Dallas. It was a magnificent show that I consider one of the very best I've seen (& I've seen dozens since). When the drummer was putting down that shuffle beat he was the only instrument heard in the whole place. Then Johnny pulled up a barstool & sat down on it, crossed his legs & played slide for about 20 minutes. He did it better than this recording even with new melodies, refrains, turnarounds, & a climax that had even the people at the very back of the facility jumping up & down on the movie-theatre seats. I gained an appreciation of awesome live music that night that has stuck with me since.
