You like the great blues guitar players, with mind bending jaw dropping solos...
You like music that is played with full soul and emotion, like the late greats Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn...
Johnny Winter is your man. Fantastic singer, with jaw dropping guitar skills. This is a guy who played with the greats like Hendrix, Muddy Waters, and James Cotton.
I would suggest most anything live from his vast musical career, this is a guy with decades of stuff around.
A nice start here:
Right in the funky groove, great vocals, and some jaw bending guitar work throughout.
Then you can go early:
Here he is with his also amazing brother Edgar, who plays sax, keyboards and sings his soul out all on the same song!. Amazing performance.
The thing about Johnny to me is he seems so vastly under-rated. Everybody and his brother seems to know that the great Texas blues players are named Vaughn and Gibbons. FM radio standards both, but besides Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo, (A Derringer song?) the radio and mainstream Blues rock fans seem to ignore Johnny.
Great as they are, and I truly enjoy those players, my ears tell me Johnny is the man. Those vocals! That unique finger picking style! Everything he does, is just better, at least to these ears...
