Legendary Johnny Winter Dies at 70

rip Johnny........your music will let you live on!

RIP Sir

i never got too much into the white bloozrock thing--too many technically proficient gunslingers w/o the soul of their influences. jw, however, really did have the feel--he's the one guy who could make done-to death old songs sound fresh. + highway 61 is the best ever dylan cover.

Did not hear this sad news...but he's been ill for a long while with various ailments. "Mean Town Blues" is the best live track in rock ever laid down. No kidding.

Johnny loved the Blues,in fact he tried to get away from what made him popular Rock n Roll. He started Blue Sky Records and produced and guided Muddy Waters career and in the process earned two Grammy's for Best Blues recording two years in a row.
He recorded with all the Blues greats and was adopted into their click,he was beloved by all who worked with him and he was ripped off blind by management for over a decade.
RIP Johnny Guitar.
