Johnny Winter - Muddy Waters (5 of 5)

[@stephengriffin1428]

We are losing too many legends and Johnny passing in the last few days breaks my heart. May he rest in peace.

[@FairwayJack]

Saw Johnny Winters in '76 and Muddy many times...both great musicians. Once after a Muddy show, I popped round to the back and spoke with Muddy about working Johnny. It was '79 I believe. Seemed happy at the mention of Johnny Winters. Kinda perked up and smiled just thinking about it.

~ Winter, not "Winters."

Thank you GOD: Vinyl / CDs / and the Internet still exist - - as long as they do , the one & only JOHNNY B.Best WINTER will n e v e r be forgotten ! R. i. P. Viva Blues !

[@bindig1]

I could listen to Johnny interviews all day. One of the coolest guys ever

[@Junky53]

Thanks for being in the sound track of my life Johnny.

[@jboughtin7522]

I have always admired Johnny's talent and skills as a musician, singer and song writer. As a musician myself, he was and still is a great source of inspiration. My hat goes off too you Johnny!

[@dbrew2u]

Johnny is Proof that we have but two Enemies in this Life. Ourselves and Time. Thank You Johnny for all that you have given us. You are indeed a Legend. And it really sucks that The Rock n Roll Hall of Shame doesn't see it that way.

[@dvdbllrd]

The three records JW produced with Muddy Waters are national treasures, pure and simple. The sweet sweet rendition of "Can't be satisfied" always gives me goosebumps, it's so joyful and alive.

[@Rhuarc]

Saw Mr. Winter perform a couple years back, here in Los Angeles. He had his hair out. Long and Platinum. He looked like a Blues guitar Wizard. Great show.

[@shuggy1110]

A fan always...love your guitar genius... I have most every album and have seen you many times...you are truly Johnny "Cool Daddy!!!" God Bless You.

[@donlang7964]

been listening to johnny for a long time. saw him twice back in the 70's, i consider myself lucky to have felt the energy, vibe and humble excelence i experienced those during those shows! it made me want to play and perform more precisely, professionaly and from the heart more than any other artist had inspired in me. thank you johnny, your music

[@hockeycoachbill]

Those Blue Sky albums are awesome. Johnny helped Muddy a lot, helped him revive his career and brought the Blues to a whole new generation. They recorded Hard again in a little home studio in Westport CT, the next town over from where I grew up. Johnny is the man.

[@taildragger53]

He seemed at his happiest during the years he spent with Muddy Waters. In 1977 Johnny & Muddy were about the only guys still playing REAL Blues whilst so many sold out to Disco or Rock. Johnny had the choice to go commercial and he stuck to his own principals. I 'll always admire the guy for that.

[@MajorSecord]

I saw Johnny play on a west-side pier in NYC in the early '80s--his mike went out so he just played for an extended period until the microphone issue was resolved. His seamless, fluid improvisations were so compelling that boats out on the Hudson all pulled in close to better hear the wonderful sound of Johnny's guitar playing. It's a vivid memory of a great artist's stream of consciousness, expressing himself outside the boundaries or the constriction of a particular piece of music.

[@ItsCabs]

Saw Johnny many times, and Muddy just one amazing time. Two perennial favorites. Inspired by both these great musicians, and decent fellas.

[@oneida41859]

One of the greats!!! A true legend.

[@markodardanis5667]

Pure Class.

[@longtalltexan63]

I wonder what is wrong with his eye??? I saw Johnny at a club in Dallas in the early 80's, I stood there the whole time with my jaw on the floor in sheer amazement.

[@Flunder]

Johnnies music is played in my house and my car daily. Hes a blues man fir sure, but he rocked it pretty damn good as well.

[@guywalker29]

Recently-ish I saw Johnny play at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ. Someone came out and lay Johnny's Fender Flying V on his lap and he commenced into Highway 61. I remember the power of Johnny in the 1970s when he'd open with The Good Love and use a lot of phase-shifting. But standing about 10 feet away from him that night I will never forget the power that came out of him when he shot out proclaiming "GOD said Abraham kill me a son". It felt like he was telling me why he was on Earth.

[@digitalboomer]

Can you imagine JW and Muddy hangin' out? That's a fantasy of just about any guitarist. To be in that class of music history. It doesn't get any better. We love you Johnny. Thanks for all the great music and we hope you keep playin' away. Just as long as you want to.

[@jaywillieband]

Johnny is still so sharp, I respect him the same as he respects Muddy.

[@richvarner6707]

Could you imagine all the great blues he has jammed with.

[@robonez]

What a guy! All Hail Johnny Winter ! \m/

[@rmgj]

Please, allow me, he is one of the very few, precious few, true great guitar players to walk this earth, we all love him with all our heart and embrace him on every vid, performance/ingterview and beg God for his well being and a health, for a long life for him, truly, cheers and all the best.

[@chuckwagon5518]

I miss your playing, Johnny!

[@JazzmanJeff]

RIP, guitar hero.

[@mudylafeet]

damn, JW is so sincere - absolute Master, Still Alive and well *****

[@mesphinx]

@jonno63 still alive and well;-D I've seen him on stage last year in Lübeck in Germany where he played as ever *super-genius* but his was sitting the whole "show" (compared to 10 years ago it's a shame) and to come in and sit down he needs guidance cause his sight is really bad now - but he sits down and starts playing and everybody is gone.....

[@gbluesrocker]

Hale to the king of the blues!

[@solomanhill]

yea Johnny. your one cool muther.true bluesman

[@televinv8062]

Two GIANTS...🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏

[@taildragger53]

@longtalltexan63 It appears to be some sort of facial paralysis..maybe Bell's Palsy or Myasthenia Gravis. They are not life threatening conditions but could be the accumulative result of hard living. I wish him well whatever the case. The first time i saw JW was in April 1970, Royal Albert Hall. Mindblowing!! I saw Hendrix perform there too but preferred Johnny Winter. Their are clips of that concert here on YT.

[@randysiler7458]

Hard Again was one of MW best or one of best albums he ever recorded.

[@5150chicago]

Hard again = greatest record ever.

[@Frank332666]

absulotely

[@vectortemple]

I'm surprised that Johnny actually speaks like a human being in sentences - all this time I thought he just moaned and howled! Johnny is KING and has been for a LONG time - even though King isn't his last name! LOL. The real thing, made in USA.

[@sepulchre10]

yup

[@billridge7854]

Mr. Magic Man

[@billp4]

@JohnnyBuff understatement

[@petepickett8670]

Legend

[@taildragger53]

@Fairweather4tune Actually..not ONLY Texas but Planet Earth. I'd class Johnny Winter with T Bone Walker. Instantly identifiable.

[@castorkat4868]

what was with his eye ?

[@jonno63]

anyone know what the condition of his health is?
