Blues-rock fretburner Johnny Winter is one of the best-known and beloved guitarists in the blues. While health issues have largely kept the legendary bluesman off the road and out of the studio as of late, Winter has been having a pretty good year in 2009 nonetheless.
He's been overseeing the release of his Live Bootleg Series albums - red-hot and ear-singing live music culled from Winter's personal archives - which number five so far, with number six on the way. His incredible performance at the Woodstock Festival was recently released for the first time on CD, coupled with his 1969 debut album as the two-disc The Woodstock Experience set.
It's been 40 years since Winter exploded on the blues-rock scene, and while he may have earned whatever time off that he chooses to take, the noted guitarist has already announced tour dates through the first four months of 2010. Witnessing Johnny Winter perform live is something that every blues fan should experience, so be sure to catch one of the below-listed performances when they hit a town near you!
