Anyone here familiar with this guy? I wasn't familiar with him until recently when I bought a collection of his music. You rarely hear his name mentioned on guitar sites, but he's great! He plays a hybrid of Hendrix-style rock and Texas blues and his chops are very impressive. Awesome blues solos and his vocal style is very cool too. Some of you must like Johnny Winter, I'm sure. Check him out if you haven't heard him. If you're into shred, stay away. Johnny is blues-rock all the way. He's an easy cat to spot in a crowd. He's an albino. Long bright, white hair. Anyways, I'm really glad I picked up one of his CDs.
