But I was totally devastated, and the timing just didn’t feel right to me. He had traveled to Switzerland where his next show was scheduled, but he passed away in his sleep at the hotel in Zurich before he ever got the chance.Įdgar reflects, “Many people immediately started trying to convince me to do a Johnny Winter tribute album. Johnny had just played the Cahors Blues Festival in France, which was destined to become his last show. The project has been years in the making, Edgar was first approached about it just after his brother passed away on July 16, 2014. 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. The guitar-driven album celebrates the expansive styles Johnny was known for – the 17 tracks were carefully curated by Edgar and producer Ross Hogarth to represent Johnny’s evolution as an artist, honoring his great legacy while also incorporating a personal tribute from brother to brother, and for which Edgar penned two new songs. He has his own unique style that is absolutely perfect for this song.”īrother Johnny is a powerful sonic journey, traveling the course of Johnny’s musical life, impeccably directed, as only his brother Edgar could. “When it came to a special guest artist for this one, there was one and only one person I wanted to do it, and that is Keb’ Mo’. Keb’ Mo’ is a real blues man who feels it heart and soul. So I wrote this about something I know Johnny felt deep in his heart……The idea of being a star yet feeling all alone… and then the perfect title, ‘Lone Star Blues’ came to me” which as a native Texan carries a double meaning. I don’t think this album would be complete without at least one, heartfelt, personal tribute–from me to my brother–in the form of a song,” Edgar wrote in the album’s liner notes. Lone Star Blues” features Edgar Winter and Keb’ Mo’, a perfect pairing for this personal and biographical song Edgar penned especially for this tribute.Įdgar’s gritty singing and Keb’s impeccable guitar works to transport the listener to a small smokey backroom club and the lonesome dirt road that leads there.
