I'm a huge Winter Bros. fan since the '70's. I saw them both a bunch of times back in the day. Being a fan I try to support their work to this day, Edgar's last record, 'Jazzin' The Blues' was the best thing he's done in decades! That said, I picked up Johnny's last record, I can't even remember the name, and sold it the next day! His playing was sub-standard but most striking to me was the complete deterioration of his voice. Again, being a fan, all I can say is it really saddened me.
Johnny Winter better than ever
WOW! Got to see Johnny last night in a 500(!) seat house last night. His handlers sort of guided him in and assisted him off stage, but this guy has all the magic he ever had, if not more! Plays with his eyes closed, never looking at the frets! Used a pinky slide and a different axe for the encore and literally brought the house down! A show to remember!
