Johnny Winter is widely recognized as being one of the greatest slide guitar players of all-time. As fellow blues guitar great Michael Bloomfield said when introducing Winter at a 1968 show at Manhattan’s Fillmore East, “This is the baddest motherfucker.” Winter was that, no doubt, but also a testament to the idea that with a lot of skill and dedication and more than a little luck, music can open any door. He was invited to play Woodstock, and later that year, with his older brother Edgar on board, recorded Second Winter: a three sided release that featured his blistering take on Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited.”
Bob Dylan Thinks highly of many older blues players and Johnny Winter who’s recording career started around the same time as Dylan and included a few Dylan covers on his albums. Bob Dylans stuff seems to pop up quite a bit on Winters discography. It seems Winter Holds Dylan in high regard but what does dylan think of winter. The only time winter has appeared on Dylan’s discography was his cover of like a rolling stone on Dylans 30th anniversary concert.
