Zitat des Tages von Johnny Winter:
When I started workin' with Muddy. That convinced me that I could get away with doin' the blues.
Well, one of the best things is workin' with Muddy.
The Progressive Blues Experiment, Johnny Winter... and Still Alive and Well is my favorite rock record.
I like playin' for an audience the best, though, I think.
Everybody was tellin' me that I had to do something different, and I kind of agreed that I did need to vary it a little bit. I still love some rock 'n' roll too.
T-Bone Walker was a big influence on just about every guitar player around.
I started playing ukulele first for 2 years from age 9 to 11 and got my first guitar and got inspired by blues I heard on the radio that turned me on and I started learning myself.
I really appreciate when someone can blow me away with live acoustic blues.
When I got old enough to go to night clubs to hear that music at the age of 15.
I'm not good enough to be playin' much acoustic guitar onstage. Man, you gotta get so right; I mean, the tones, the feel, the sound. Plus, acoustic blues guitar is just that much harder on the fingers.
The best artists are gone now.
Jimi was always at The Scene when he was in New York and we played many times together. He was just everywhere - he went out and jammed everywhere he was.
I just like the blues better than rock 'n' roll.
There were a whole lot, I bought every blues record I could find, it wasn't just one or two people. My vocal influences were Ray Charles and Bobby Blue Bland.
Oh, I love to play on the road. I really love it.
My mother played piano so we always had music around the house.
Little Walter I would've liked to have played with.
I think the blues will always be around. People need it.
I never really got to know Jimi as a person.
Derek Trucks is a real good new artist. He's a young guy.
Yeah, we went to England to do a show and I got off the plane and I couldn't write my name or hold my hand up.
I always wanted to play music and have it be my career and knew this by the age of 12.
