Still Alive and Well
by TeddyBrooklyn on 8/21/14B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkI saw Johnny when he brought Muddy Waters back to the masses in a 1977 show at the Palladium in NYC. The pure joy of Johnny and James Cotton and the pagentry of bringing out the great Muddy Waters was a revelation to me. Started playing the Blues and never looked back. I went to see Johnny 4 times on this last tour and two of the nights were a reminder that he was one of the true greats even at 70. True to the Blues really says it all. I can't wait for the new release September 2 or the memorial concert and documentary screening October 10. Johnny Winter will live on in everyone he touched with those Texas Blues he ripped like nobody else.
