One of the great guitar gods
Sad news, forgot how old he was. I guess we are all getting on. Time flies.

His health comeback in the mid to late 2000's was amazing, his former manager basically kept him a drugged-up slave for years, his new manager/bandmate slowly weaned him off everything without Johnny's knowledge and told him one Christmas that he had been straight (Methadone for 30 years) for a few months. He was an amazing guitar player.
Boy! Was not a fan as I was young, don't know why. Not as mainstream as most. They play his rifts on public radio here on weekends. Amazing stuff. Great talent. RIP, Johnny.
Another great loss to music from a great era...may he be in the great jam session in the Sky!
R.I.P Johnny Winter, and a big thank you.

If you love the blues, you have to love Johnny Winter's guitar riffs!
Johnny may you rest in a well deserved peace. Thanks for sharing your talent.
