From latimes.com, July 17, 2014:
(Johnny Winter) took music lessons and sang in the church choir. At 10 or 11, he was transfixed by what he heard on a black radio station that was a favorite of the family's maid. "It was real raw," he recalled, "completely different than the music my parents and grandparents listened to. I started listenin' to blues on KJET because I liked what I heard in the kitchen."
"Johnny Winter is one of the greats of the guitar." - Angus Young of AC/DC
"Pound for pound, the greatest rock & roll singer ever." - Steven Tyler of Aerosmith
"Johnny Winter is an incredible blues guitarist." - Eddie Van Halen
"For decades, an original in an un-original world." - Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick
"When it comes to playing the blues, Johnny is one of a kind." - Gregg Allman
"His guitar playing pierces your heart... and his work with Muddy Waters is timeless." - Carlos Santana
