I think easy to assume that most American's know him more by his rather unique looks rather than his music.Now not to say he's not a great guitar player.I'm surprised that photo didn't ring your bell.

Living north of the 49th, that's the first photo I seen of Johnny although I do recognize the name as I said. I've never been much of a TV watcher (haven't had cable or satellite for the last 14 years; too many other things to do), and about the only time I listened to radio it was when we had an active band in the 60's. Later on in the 70's and 80's local stations didn't really play much of what I wanted to listen to, so I listened to "oldies" stations out of Seattle when I could pick them up or traffic reports for my work commute...course my kids made sure I heard other music while they were going up..;-) Which means about 80% of the covers of magazines like Guitar Player have photos of bands or people I couldn't recognize (or never heard of for that matter). —Mel |

Now that's what threw me ... he certainly wouldn't be considered a household name in the UK - let alone 'mainstream'. I can't think of anyone in my family who would have heard of him apart from me. You'd have to be rock/blues fan of a certain age. —http://www.myspace.com/thepashuns Youth and enthusiasm are no match for age and treachery. |

My big brother brought home "Still Alive and Well" in 1973 and to my twelve year old ears it was one of the most insane things I had ever heard! I ended up wearing it out on my GE Wildcat record player and I had to buy him a new copy. Needless to say I was soon saving my money for a guitar. Still some of the most over-the-top guitar work ever recorded: Bill S._______ |

I saw Winter at the first Atlanta Pop Festival in July of 1969. I think he was playing into 4 or 6 Twin Reverbs. Very loud! |

I started listening to JW after hearing him on the Edgar Winter's White Trash Roadwork album. I saw him live at The Hammersmith Odeon in '92 and it was sold out, definitely to an older crowd. |

Estreet I don't think many of my friends would know him here either, and definitely not a household name; but as a pimply faced wide-eyed teenager I borrowed a few of his albums from the local library, so knew of him. I vaguely remember a live album? Tell me, did he sing too (growl) - or am I thinking of someone else? Tim —Tim O |

'growl' is one way of putting it. one hell of a guitar player in that texas blues vein and i'm sure back in the day quite a stage presence with that white hair/white skin. — |

Cool find Zak! My fav JW stuff is his Self Titled album. That is some of the rawest, sickest electric blues guitar of all time IMHO. His acoustic blues on that album (especially Dallas) is equally powerful. Great voice as well. —Ryan |
