Because I thought that they sounded really great in that band. Songfacts: I was pretty surprised by that announcement. I don't know whether they'll ever find two guitar players that good. Weird, both of them quitting at the same time. Songfacts: They just announced that this is the last year that they're going to be playing with the Allman Brothers. Johnny: Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks are my two favorites. Songfacts: Who would you say are some modern day blues players that you enjoy the most?
Songfacts: Going back and thinking about your life and also telling those stories, would you say that there were some stories and situations that came back that you might have forgotten about over the years?
What are your thoughts on that book now that a few years have passed since it's come out? Songfacts: It's been a few years since your book came out, Raising Cain. I like everything that they did, so, fine. Johnny: They just told me what they put on it. Songfacts:ĝid you get a chance to go back and check it out at all or did you leave it entirely up to Sony? Johnny Winter: Sony's idea to do it for my 70th birthday. How did the idea come up to do a career boxed set right now? Greg Prato (Songfacts): Let's talk about True to the Blues. After all, it was a certain silver-haired guitarist that rocked the original Woodstock festival, issued a string of classic albums during the late '60s and early '70s ( Johnny Winter, Johnny Winter And, Still Alive and Well among them), and produced several acclaimed albums for blues legend Muddy Waters during the late '70s and early '80s ( Hard Again, I'm Ready, the Grammy-winning Muddy "Mississippi" Waters – Live, and King Bee).Ī man of few words (as you'll soon discover in the chat below), Winter discussed working with Waters, songwriting, and the current state of the blues. There are few living blues rockers who are as authentic as Johnny Winter. With the arrival of a career-spanning boxed set ( True to the Blues: The Johnny Winter Story) and a documentary ( Down & Dirty), Johnny Winter is experiencing a well-deserved career renaissance.
