Info for Brother Johnny
"Brother Johnny", a tribute to the legendary blues guitarist created by his brother Edgar Winter. The album is a powerful sonic journey, travelling the course of Johnny's musical life, impeccably directed, as only his brother Edgar could. Joining Edgar on the inclusive project is an impressive array of renowned musicians who knew, or were inspired by Johnny, including: Joe Bonamassa, Doyle Bramhall II, John McFee, Robben Ford, Billy Gibbons, David Grissom, Taylor Hawkins, Warren Haynes, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, Keb Mo, Doug Rappoport, Bobby Rush, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Ringo Starr, Derek Trucks, Waddy Wachtel, Joe Walsh, Phil X and Gregg Bissonette.
Now that quiet kid will release a musical love-letter to his first champion. Brother Johnny is an album which he has been considering since Johnny’s death in 2014, and a tour they had been scheduled to play together. Years in the making, It fuses Johnny’s lifelong passion for the electric blues with the warmth of a brother’s genuine love. “No matter how much time goes by,” Edgar said, “or how old I get, what happens in my life, or how far I end up from home – there is one person in this world I know will always understand what I’ve been through, how I feel. And that person is my brother Johnny.”
“As kids, we were inseparable, much closer than average brothers. Not only did we learn to play music together, but because we were both albino, we shared a unique personal perspective on life different than anyone else’s…So much has happened to both of us since then, but one thing will always remain the same: that bond of brotherhood, of family, of music, and of love.”
“So in his name,” he said, “I dedicate this album, Brother Johnny.”
"Brother Johnny is arguably one of the greatest tribute albums of all time. Passionate and enthusiastic, the record celebrates Johnny Winter and introduces his music to newer generations with an outstanding selection of star guests and classic songs." (Fidel Beserra, bluesrockreview.com)
