In 1969 Clive Davies gave Jonny Winter $600,000.00 in advance to make Albums. It was the largest up front money ever to be give to an artist up to that time. Johnny was a blues player then a huge Rock star filling stadiums. Then back to his blues roots and received a couple Grammy awards for producing and playing with Muddy Waters. A real legend up there with Duane Allman and Jimmi Hendrix 🎸🔥
These Lads were Far Ahead in Mashing Up Rock , Soul , Blues , Jazz and what ever Else They came across. I had the Privilege of seeing them Both many times. Johnny and Edgar Winters and Savoy Brown's Street Corner Talking Album were the Best of the 70's. Check Em OOt some Time Red. Groovy✌❤
I first remember this being sung by a UK band called the Nashville teens, but apart from the Winter group Bobbie Gentry also sang it. Each of these covers were quite different, this version had more in common with the original. I guess you were suitably impressed by the instrumental prowess of the Winter brothers, me too I forgot how good they could be! 🌹 Edit: the organ used is a Hammond, the most iconic rock organ ever!
I Remember hearing the Nashville Teens version on the radio. Also done by Blues Magoos on their album Psychedelic Lollipop. We used to play that to death. Tobacco Road was like 15 minutes long with feedback and so on. They had a Big Hit in 1966 with We Ain't Got Nothing Yet. That was pretty much it for them
Not many bands can touch this style of music played by Johnny & Edgar !! another song you need to listen to is Focus Hocus-Pocus musicians on a similar level & cheerful vocals
We need more music from way back when and we need more artists like The Warning and Upchurch to revive the sounds of the past! Music today I feel is per packaged cookie-cutter overproduced in the studio with no feeling or soul. Red I love this so much real musicians with real instruments we need more of this. Young people need to go back to the roots of music.Love what you do ❤❤❤❤#edgarwintergroup #johnnywinter #blues #funk #guitar #multiinstruments #redheadedneighbor #bestreactor
Jimi Hendrix often said Rory Gallagher was the greatest and there are some other greats like buddy Guy, Duane Allman, Alvin Lee etc whom I think are better than Clapton.
I heard many different bands perform this song in the 1960s and early 1970s. It is an old black blues riff from the Carolinas - post civil war sharecropper songs
The most talented pair of albinos you'll ever hear and they're both legally blind! rest in peace Johnny!!🎸 react to Free Ride by the Edgar Winter Group!🎷🎹🥁🎵🎵🎵
Johnny is my no. 2 guitar hero no 1 is Duane Allman. When you walk through my kitchen the first thing you see on my living room wall are portraits of Johnny and Duane.
You definitely have that look, that you really are diggin' these boys. Check out Johnny's amazing guitar work on Mean Town Blues. The performance at the Old Grey Whistle Stop. Totally right on with the Gospel Influence, grew up in the church
Tell me it's the 70's without telling me it's the 70's! What talented musicians. I love the, I'm done with the organ I'm playing the saxophone now for a bit then back to the organ and how about a bit of jazz scat vocal to finish. lol.
@@redheadedneighbor I saw Edgar Winter Group in the mid 70's and Johnnie in the early 80's both in Omaha. Incredible talents! Edgars Grammy in 2023 was for Best Contemporary Blues Album, I believe. The album is named Brother Johnnie.
Here is a Chuckle for Ya. Savoy Browns " Wang Dang Doddle " I got a Real Chuckle when My Grandson Heard it , He was Expecting something I think. Lovs from Canada
My Dear Friend, You are positively stunning today! I was a big fan of Johnny until he died, and I still listen to his music a lot. Edgar is way ahead of his time, he was playing jazz/rock when everyone else was still figuring out bar chords. You should look into Rick Derringer, the guitar in Edgar’s band. He played Rock and Roll Hoochie-koi and others.
The Winter brothers grew up in south Texas. Being albino’s they spent much of their childhoods inside together learning music. It shows. They’ve been practicing since they were single digit in age.
They grew in southeast Texas, in Beaumont. Just up the road US69/96/287 from Port Arthur where Janis Joplin grew up. Jefferson County had a lot of music coming from it. Including J.P. Richardson, aka The Big Bopper, Tex Ritter, Mark Chestnut, Jivin' Gene Bourgeois and Johnny Preston.
@@johndoe-gt6gp That's just Jefferson County. If you add the surrounding counties, you can add George Jones, Tracy Byrd and Clay Walker. Before ZZ Top got famous, they played the area and after they became famous, they still honored their contracts to play the local High School Proms. Jimmy Buffett used to play at The Perch in the student center at Lamar U in Beaumont.
I've seen Johny about 10 times, once with Edgar. This is Johnnys band Uncle John Turner on drums who's wife killed him and Tommy Shannon on bass who later played with Stevie Ray Vaughan. RIP Johnny, Uncle John and SRV. Jim
Always fun to watch someone witness this for the first time! This live performance was 54 years ago and just one year ago, Edgar won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album. The album was Brother Johnny, a tribute to his deceased brother. For your next foray into Edgar's catalog, I strongly suggest Dying to Live (ruclips.net/video/opGVGKw_lDU/видео.html), which is the most beautiful song you've never heard. And I have to ask...what is your favorite genre of music? Odds are Edgar put out a song in it.
The bassist, Tommy Shannon, went on to play with Stevie Ray Vaughn in the 80s and 90s. This is a cover of a Nashville Teens song from 1959, I think. The captions have an error. The line is "I despise you because you're filthy". If you listen, that's exactly what Edgar is singing. Makes a lot more sense.
Edgar is fantastic with his brother Johnny for sure! But he also had a band at one time called White Trash with the amazing Jerry LaCroix. As bombastic as Edgar is, Jerry could actually match him scream for scream and sax lick for sax lick! Imagine the two of them doing sax section stuff and harmonized screams over an R&B rhythm section. Well worth a listen!
This was just prior to Edgar becoming a star in his own right. Johnny had been the top draw to that point. Edgar had his own band, White Trash, and then the Edgar Winter Group. I saw them a couple of times back in the day, powerhouse music and doubled over with talent. WT had lots of horns. Johnny burst on the scene, a cross-eyed albino from Texas, in the blues revival of the late 60's. He was one of the few guitarists who could play lightning fast but tastefully, lots of notes but with none out of place. Johnny Winter And - Live is one of the top 5 live albums ever IMO. Also Captured Live from 1975. An absolute shred-fest. Check 'em out. Oh yeah, and Edgar's live Roadwork album. great stuff
NO , HE DIDN'T ! EDGAR'S NOT DEAD ! HE JUST MADE A POST ON HIS INSTAGRAM FOR SAXOPHONE SATURDAY , THAT HE DOES EVERY WEEK ! AND I BELIEVE HE'S 77 ! AND I KNOW HE'S STILL PLAYING ! I THINK WITH , RINGO'S ALL STARS ! GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT !
I’m my opinion most of Johnny Winter’s greatest works are not on video. You just have to look for the record albums. I would suggest you check out Johnny Winter And.
I'm pleased that you decided to react to Tobacco Road. You seem to like new types of music. How 'bout a guitar solo of Ludwig van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata played by a young lady. Her name is Tina S. She's no longer active on RUclips but her channel is still there with a wealth of wonderful guitar music.
The singing is called scat invented by slaves when they sang they didn't have money for instruments or the whereabouts or ability to buy them to hear more scat and something totally different than you've ever heard or seen react to Cab Calloway performing Minnie the Moocher live

I was introduced to this song about a year ago. It's one of a kind. I enjoyed it!
I am a HUGE fan of Johnny and Edgar Winter, I grew up on the blues of Johnny and the Funk of Edgar, Thanks a million, Red!
Absolutely!
We need more music from way back when and we need more artists like The Warning and Upchurch to revive the sounds of the past!

Agreed
The scat duet with the organ is amazing
Yes!
Excellent reaction there is no instrument that Edgar can’t play so talented later beautiful.❤️😎🇺🇸
🔥
Listen to....Focus, Hocus Pocus, live on the Midnight Special in 1973....😀
Love that name
@@redheadedneighbor - oh wait till you see the video!! :) :) :)
Oh God. I hope she's ready.
😂
I don’t think anybody is ready for hocus pocus live!!!!!!!!!
and thanks for turning Buckeye Creeker onto the Warning spreading the love they deserve it
Johnny was known as one of the top 3 Rock/Blues guitarists along with the greatest, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton.
Jimi Hendrix often said Rory Gallagher was the greatest and there are some other greats like buddy Guy, Duane Allman, Alvin Lee etc whom I think are better than Clapton.
New to me from that old Aussie nutter 🪨 dweller 😂😂thank you Red❤
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘thanks for this you did tell me in a reply to a comment i made that you would re visit these guys they where both so cool and talented
LOTS of talent on that stage!!
Thank you for doing this one...I could tell how much you enjoyed it. Keep em coming Red...🔥🔥🔥

Organ Hammond B3 with a Leslie Bottom. Rotating horn produces high whirling sound.
Yuuussssss
Great piece. Amazing material.
I've never heard this live version before, fantastic stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Red... Thanks for this one! As always you rock 👍👍 Spread the love 🐶😎🇺🇸
They still make my heart beat ❤
🔥🔥🔥
Classic!
By the way, Edgar won a Grammy in 2023. Fifty plus years of excellence.
Good! The man is legend

@@Rosedach I knew they came from the same area as Janis. I wasn’t aware of the others. That’s quite a roster of talent.

Imagine: 1 Mother and (THAT!!!) 2 "children"...
Red... thank you. Knew you would love this. 😎
I did!
yes, yes, yes nobody sounds like Edgar and nobody plays like Johnny, now let's go to Church!! Plus you aint heard nothin' yet
🔥🔥🔥🔥
From another hemosphere. So ahead of their time brilliant. ❤
Thank you, little girl. Youre . @mazing . ❤❤❤❤

Johnny was actually the more famous one with an incredible solo career.
Yes, I had heard of him. Edgar was new for me. Love that they are now both connected in my mind.

Yes, that does make more sense
Did I hear someone mention "instrumentals?
"Fire on High" by the Electric Light Orchestra is pretty good and worth checking out.
Edgar is fantastic with his brother Johnny for sure! But he also had a band at one time called White Trash with the amazing Jerry LaCroix. As bombastic as Edgar is, Jerry could actually match him scream for scream and sax lick for sax lick! Imagine the two of them doing sax section stuff and harmonized screams over an R&B rhythm section. Well worth a listen!
Rick Derringer, a member of Edgar's Group, has a must hear single called "Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo," enjoy!
You: mother
Two: "Winters"
"Inferno", Mom?

Saw edgar n johnny winter in concert.great shows.sould check out johnny winters.check out her mama or illustrated man.thanks
I will check it out
@@redheadedneighbor thank you
Checkout Johnny Winter doing “Johnny Be Good.”
I bet he kills that
Both were great, but now they are gone. Edgar died about 2 or 3 years ago at the age of 78 I think
NO , HE DIDN'T ! EDGAR'S NOT DEAD ! HE JUST MADE A POST ON HIS INSTAGRAM FOR SAXOPHONE SATURDAY , THAT HE DOES EVERY WEEK ! AND I BELIEVE HE'S 77 ! AND I KNOW HE'S STILL PLAYING ! I THINK WITH , RINGO'S ALL STARS ! GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT !

Lousy camera work on this they’re hardly even showing Johnny while he’s playing
In 1988 Johnny became the first non-African American to be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
I love this.

You seem to like new types of music. How 'bout a guitar solo of Ludwig van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata played by a young lady. Her name is Tina S. She's no longer active on RUclips but her channel is still there with a wealth of wonderful guitar music.
I think there might be some wet spots for some of the newer generation.......just guessing
Er you mean Jonny....
