    The Great Jimi Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitarist of all time. He responded with, I don't know you'll have to go ask Johnny. What a great tribute to Johnny Winter.

    The Winter Bros grew up in Beaumont TX. Being albino, they had to stay in out of the sun, and so took up music. Their dad was a college music professor, I think. Written by JD Loudermilk in 1960-done by Nashville Kids in 64, and as mentioned, Lou Rawls. btw, the bass player is Tommy Shannon from Stevie Ray Vaughan's band. Great reaction, I knew that you would love this cuz you got so much soul in you 👍👍

    If you like this you should check out another blues artist called Stevie Ray Vaughn Texas Flood or Little Wing live at the El Macombo or Voodoo Child live one night in Austin or ain’t gonna give up on love , or life without you live at the Capital Theater. Either one you will not be disappointed

    Jay. Funny you should ask "what Black church he grew up in?" The Winter brothers' father would take the boys around to Black churches in east Texas and Louisiana to perform in. The people loved to watch the Winter boys sing and play music. So growing up, the Winter brothers picked up a lot of blues and jazz influences.

    I'm glad you pointed out the debt owed to African American blues artists. You are absolutely correct and they did not make money from the music that so many of us have come to enjoy today. Having said that, this particular song was written and recorded in 1960 by John D. Loudermilk, who was white. Regardless of all these issues, I give credit to Johnny and Edgar for taking the blues up a notch. They borrowed from AA artists, and gave credit to them. Johnny worshipped Muddy Waters, wrote a song for him, and ended up playing with him later on. I just feel like you brushed Edgar and Johnny's talent under the rug in your closing commentary. They deserve a bit more credit.

    They might be black, might be white, might be albino, but whatever box you put them into, the Winter brothers were into very bluesy and funky music. My favorite genre: funk/hard core blues. These two brothers were SO talented, with the ability to play almost any musical instrument. So many great blues artists don't get the recognition they deserve because evidently there aren't enough people who are fans of that genre. It's a shame.

    Fun fact: here in North Carolina, going from the American Tabacco Factory complex in Durham (of the movie Bull Durham) - where Lucky Strike cigarettes were made - is the old Durham And Southern Railroad right-of-way, now a greenway trail, dubbed the Tobacco Road. On the other side of the factory is railroad tracks that carried 3 other major railroads, and across them is the rail yard and branch to the Liggotte-Meyers tobacco factory complex. And next to them is the R J Reynolds tobacco factory complex. The old Durham & Southern Railroad immediately leaving the American Tobacco factory complex ran right next to Duke University, created on lands donated by the Duke Tobacco family - the old plantation home is still nearby. The one true Tobacco Road.
    Side note: the new Durham Bulls baseball stadium, not the old one used in the Kevin Costner movie, is right next to the American Tobacco Factory complex (which has now been converted into a mall and community center), at the head of the Tobacco Road Greenway trail.
    Another fun fact: after a 400 year history of tobacco processing, the factories in Durham were conscripted in World War 2 to produce cigarettes issued to every solgier and staff to help ease both the mental and physical pains of war - thus creating a whole generation addicted to smoking.

    This song was a true depiction of life, written about Tobacco Road, in Durham, North Carolina. "Tobacco Road" is a blues song written and first recorded by John D. Loudermilk, in December 1959 and released in 1960. This song became a hit for The Nashville Teens in 1964 and has since become a standard across several musical genres. The Winter Brothers and band, brought authenticity, dynamic emotion, feeling and Real Soul to this well written song. This performance is historic, meaningful and will never be equaled. This is "Musical Magic" of the finest caliber.

    John D. Loudermilk Jr. (March 31, 1934 - September 21, 2016) was
    an American singer and songwriter. Although he had his own recording
    career during the 1950s and 1960s, he was primarily known as a
    songwriter. His best-known songs include "Indian Reservation", a 1971 #1 hit for Paul Revere & the Raiders; "Tobacco Road", a 1964 top 20 hit for the Nashville Teens; "This Little Bird", a UK #6 for Marianne Faithfull in 1965, and "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye", a top ten hit in 1967 for the Casinos and also a #1 country hit for Eddy Arnold the following year.
    This is who Wrote Tabaco Road.

The Winters brothers have taken the stage and are respected by some of the greatest names in blues including BB King, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. No one is trying to take anything or any credit away from any of the great black blues artists. These guys didn’t choose to be born albino any more than anyone chooses to the color of the human shell they are in.Music- it’s either good or it’s not. Love and peace ☮️

    "Tobacco Road" is a blues song written and first recorded by John D. Loudermilk in 1960 that was a hit for The Nashville Teens in 1964 and has since become a standard across several musical genres. Originally framed as a folk song, "Tobacco Road" was a semi-autobiographical tale of growing up in Durham, North Carolina. Released on Columbia Records, it was not a hit for Loudermilk, achieving only minor chart success in Australia. Other artists, however, immediately began recording and performing the song.
