Interview with blues/rock legend Johnny Winter Nov.2nd 2002 Review and Photos by Tony Bonyata Check out concertlivewire.com's concert review from WI Oct. 30th 02 Check out concertlivewire.com's LIVE IN NYC '97 cd review Johnny Winter is a name that is well known in the music world. Not only has he churned out some of the most blistering rock 'n' roll earlier in his career, but as of 1977 - a time when he helped revive blues great Muddy Waters' own career with a string of Grammy Award winning albums - he's been playing the kind of music that touches his soul, and that's good old-fashioned blues. And even though this 58-year old Texas guitarist / singer has had some recent physical problems, it seems that he's not about to slow down. Together with a new ferocious blues band, consisting of James Montgomery on harp and vocals, Scott Spray on bass and Wayne June on drums, Winter is back on the road - a place he seems most at home. Although not a man of many words (at least as far as press interviews are concerned) Johnny, nonetheless, took the time to discuss his new band and forthcoming album, as well as the past, present and future of the blues with Livewire's Tony Bonyata. Livewire: I checked out your show last night in Madison, and I have to say that your new band absolutely smokes! How long have you been playing with these guys? Johnny: About a month. Livewire: That's it? READ THE REST OF THE INTERVIEW HERE>>>
