So true that Johnny Winter has the best covers of Stones songs . I always regretted that the Stones in one of there tours when they rolled thru Texas never got together and invited Johnny Winter to join them on stage for one (or a few ) songs . How great would that have been to hear the Stones and Mick singing and Johnny tearing it up on his Sunburst Reverse Gibson Firebird V ! I love Johnny Winter !!!!!!!!

Johnny was the man. I saw him in 2008 and 2009. How I envy those who saw him in 1969-1993.
Really? He was one of the greatest guitarists in rock and blues historyQuote

I will be in the minority here but Johnny Winter has never done anything for me. he is one of those names (like Radiohead) where I keep coming back to them, thinking "It must be me, I am missing something that everyone else is seeing". But it never grabs me. He had a great image.
Jagger has said that at the end of the day you also got to have some luck. JW did not get the exposure in the Woodstock movie that helped other artists from his class.
I have his albums. I met him twice. (nice guy), but I got to say I have seen many unknowns in bars who I'd prefer over him.

Hmm.. It looks like I was talking in past form. Well, the truth is that I haven't really much listened Johnny Winter for ages. I had all his albums to GUITAR SLINGER but then, for some reason, I just lost the interest and stopped following or even listening him. I used to like him very much, but I don't really know what I do think of him now. I recall STILL ALIVE AND WELL being my favourite album. I should check it out!
