His contrasting appearance and devotion to the blues pioneers of the 20th century turbo-charged a career in which he emulated and, ultimately, championed, his childhood hero Muddy Waters and other icons. Winters carved out a wide niche — and became an icon himself — starting in the late 1960s and 1970s with a sound that blues and country singer Tracy Nelson, prominent during the same era with her band Mother Earth, described as “Texas second generation.” “He did not overplay, like a lot of white blues guitarists,” she said of Winter, who collaborated with the likes of Waters, John Lee Hooker and Jimi Hendrix. “His tone was a little more modern, more electric, but I could see the influences. He stayed faithful. People idolized him.” Excerpt from the National Post R.I.P Johnny Winter - Mormo Zine - 17-07-2014 Does anyone know if Edgar Winter is still alive?
