Rest in Peace Johnny !!!! Another rock blues legend passes away at 70 years old !
[video=youtube;M6kPQLLLYAc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6kPQLLLYAc&feature=player_embedded[/video] "Texas blues legend Johnny Winter emblazoned himself into the worldâs consciousness with his tattooed arms churning out lightning-fast guitar riffs and his striking long white hair flowing from under his cowboy hat. 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 â and became an icon himself â 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 âTexas second generation.â âHe did not overplay, like a lot of white blues guitarists,â she said of Winter, who collaborated with the likes of Waters, John Lee Hooker and Jimi Hendrix. âHis tone was a little more modern, more electric, but I could see the influences. He stayed faithful. People idolized him.â Excerpt from the National Post
