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.
From Johnny Winter
I really appreciate when someone can blow me away with live acoustic blues.
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.
When I started workin' with Muddy. That convinced me that I could get away with doin' the blues.
When I got old enough to go to night clubs to hear that music at the age of 15.
Well, one of the best things is workin' with Muddy.
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.
The Progressive Blues Experiment, Johnny Winter... and Still Alive and Well is my favorite rock record.
The best artists are gone now.
T-Bone Walker was a big influence on just about every guitar player around.
